اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes add a preposition after the verb and say *"boycott against something"*. This is incorrect. Use the verb directly with an object: *"They are boycotting the company"*, not *"They are boycotting against the company"*. Also, do not use it to mean any kind of protest that still involves buying or taking part; a boycott means you refuse to buy, use, or join.
معنی
