Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes think 'midi' means any medium size or any middle length. In fashion, 'midi' is more specific: it usually means the hem stops around the middle of the lower leg, not just 'not long' or 'not short'. Also, 'midi' is mostly used for clothing, not for other objects.
