Kesalahan umum:
Learners sometimes use *shun* like the very common verb *avoid* in casual speech. *Shun* sounds more formal or written, and often suggests strong moral or emotional reasons. In everyday conversation, *avoid* is usually more natural. Also, *shun* is normally used with a direct object (e.g. *shun sugar*, *shun parties*), not with an infinitive (*✗ shun to go*).
