Erreur fréquente :
Learners sometimes confuse "enmity" with "enemy." "Enemy" is a person or group you fight with, while "enmity" is the feeling of hatred or the hostile relationship itself. Another common mistake is using it as a countable noun in everyday contexts (e.g., "an enmity"), whereas it is usually uncountable and used in phrases like "enmity between A and B" or "feel enmity toward someone."
