اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "battalion" with "battle" and use *battalion* to mean a fight. "Battle" is the fight; a "battalion" is a large group of soldiers. Also, some learners treat it like a single soldier and say "a battalion went there" meaning one person; it must always refer to a unit of many soldiers.
معنی
large organized military unit
