よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes say *"not desirable"* in places where native speakers would more often use *"undesirable"*, especially in formal writing (e.g., *"Smoking is undesirable"* sounds more natural than *"Smoking is not desirable"* in many contexts). They may also confuse *"undesirable"* with *"dislike";* remember that *"undesirable"* describes things that are not wanted, often for objective or practical reasons, not just personal taste.

Also, calling an individual *"an undesirable"* can sound strong or dehumanizing; in sensitive contexts, it may be better to say *"people who are not welcome"* or similar wording.
