טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes try to use 'maiden' to mean 'first' in everyday situations (e.g., 'my maiden day at work'). This sounds strange; use 'first day' instead. 'Maiden' is mostly used in fixed phrases like 'maiden voyage' or 'maiden speech'. Learners may also confuse this sense with the 'young woman' meaning, which is now rare and literary.
