Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "wrist" with "waist" because they sound similar. "Wrist" is the part of the arm near the hand, while "waist" is the narrow part of the body above the hips. Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition: we say something is "on my wrist," not "in my wrist."
