よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "ratify" for everyday personal approval, as in *"My friends ratified my idea"*, which sounds unnatural. In daily situations, "agree with" or "approve of" is better. "Ratify" is mainly used for formal decisions, treaties, contracts, and laws made by governments, organizations, or official groups. It is also sometimes confused with "verify" (to check if something is true) and "justify" (to show that something is right); however, "ratify" is about giving official final approval.
