자주 하는 실수：
Learners sometimes confuse "embody" with "symbolize". "Embody" usually means someone or something is the living or clear example of a quality, while "symbolize" often refers to a sign or object that stands for something more abstract (for example, a flag symbolizes a country). Also, do not say "embody of"; use a direct object: "He embodies courage," not "He embodies of courage."

자주 하는 실수：
Learners may use "embody" instead of "include" or "contain" in technical contexts. "Embody" here is about making an abstract idea visible or concrete, not just having it as a part. Also, avoid saying "embody into"; the normal pattern is "embody in": "The design is embodied in the final product."
