よくある間違い:
Learners often use "outside" when they mean the outside surface of a building, for example saying *the outside of the house paint* instead of *the exterior paint of the house*. "Exterior" is more natural in technical or careful descriptions of buildings, cars, or design, especially when talking about surfaces and structure.
