טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse 'heterosexual' with 'homosexual' because the words look similar. Remember: 'hetero-' means 'different', so 'heterosexual' is attraction to a different sex; 'homo-' means 'same', so 'homosexual' is attraction to the same sex. Learners may also overuse the formal adjective when the neutral informal word 'straight' would sound more natural in casual conversation.
משמעות
sexually attracted to opposite sex
