اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *"I am unexpected"* when they mean *"I am surprised"*. "Unexpected" describes a thing, event, or situation, not a person’s feeling. Use "surprised" for feelings (e.g., "I am surprised"), and "unexpected" for what causes the feeling (e.g., "an unexpected call"). Learners also confuse "unexpected" with "sudden"; "unexpected" means you did not think it would happen, while "sudden" means it happened very quickly.
