Gyakori hiba:
Learners often use "nasty" in very formal writing, where a more neutral word like "unpleasant" or "unfavorable" is better. They may also confuse it with "bad"; "nasty" is usually stronger and suggests disgust or strong discomfort, not just low quality.
Jelentés
very unpleasant or offensive

Jelentés
dangerous or very serious
Szókapcsolatok
nasty fall
|nasty injury
|nasty cut

Szinonimák
serious (More general and slightly more formal; does not carry the emotional tone of "nasty".)
