اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "humiliation" with "humility". "Humiliation" is a very negative feeling of shame and lost respect, usually caused by others. "Humility" is a positive quality of being modest and not thinking you are better than other people. Also, learners sometimes say *"I am a humiliation"*; the natural phrase is *"I feel humiliation"* or *"It was a humiliation for me"*.

اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use a verb form like *"He humiliationed me"* instead of the correct verb "humiliated". The noun is "humiliation" (e.g., "It was a humiliation"), and the verb is "humiliate" (e.g., "He humiliated me"). Another mistake is saying *"the humiliation to lose"*; the natural pattern is "the humiliation of losing" + noun/verb-ing.
