اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "delirium" with "delusion." A "delusion" is a fixed false belief (often long-lasting), while "delirium" is a short-term medical condition with confusion and changes in attention and awareness. Learners may also wrongly use "delirium" to mean simple happiness or surprise; for that, words like "joy" or "excitement" are more natural unless the feeling is described as almost madness.
