Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse 'appropriation' with the adjective 'appropriate' (meaning 'suitable'). Remember: 'appropriation' is a noun about taking something, often without permission, while 'appropriate' describes whether something fits a situation. Learners also sometimes say *'an appropriation of money from'* when they mean 'by' someone; use 'of' for what is taken and 'by' for who takes it.

Learners sometimes confuse this meaning with simply 'price' or 'cost'. An 'appropriation' is not what something costs; it is the money officially set aside to pay for it. Also, this sense is usually countable ('an appropriation', 'appropriations'), unlike the more general sense of 'appropriation' as the act of taking.

Learners sometimes confuse 'cultural appropriation' with 'cultural appreciation'. Appreciation is generally viewed as positive, while appropriation is usually viewed as negative and unfair.
