よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes confuse "indistinct" with "instinct" because they look similar. "Indistinct" means not clear, but "instinct" is a natural feeling or reaction. Another confusion is with "indistinguishable": "indistinct" means hard to see or hear clearly, while "indistinguishable" means two things look or sound so similar that you cannot tell them apart.
