اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "intelligible" with "intelligent". "Intelligible" describes speech, writing, or messages that can be understood, while "intelligent" describes a person or action that shows high mental ability. For example, "an intelligible explanation" (easy to understand) vs. "an intelligent student" (smart).
