Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes say *"adjacent with"* or *"adjacent of"*. The correct preposition is *"adjacent to"* (e.g., *"The bank is adjacent to the supermarket"*). Learners may also confuse *"adjacent"* with *"attached"*; *"adjacent"* means very close or next to, but not necessarily physically joined.

sharing a common side or point
in math, touching another side, angle, or point because they share a line or point
Vartosenos šablonas:
[angles/sides/vertices] are adjacent
Dažna klaida:
Learners may confuse "adjacent" with "opposite" in triangle vocabulary (e.g., the adjacent side vs. the opposite side relative to an angle). Emphasize that the adjacent side shares the angle, while the opposite side is across from it.
Sinonimai
neighboring (Can be used in some math contexts but is less precise and less standard than "adjacent".)
Antonimai
opposite (In geometry, describes sides, angles, or vertices that face each other rather than share a border.)

very close to something in time, level, or type, not just in place

Sinonimai

|
neighboring (Metaphorical use; suggests being near in type or category, not just location.)
