よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes confuse "fasten" with "fix" or "repair" because of similar translations in other languages. "Fasten" means to close or secure (a belt, door, coat), not to repair something that is broken. Another common mistake is saying *"fasten with your seat belt"* instead of "fasten your seat belt".
