Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse "spouse" with "fiancé/fiancée" (a person you are engaged to but not yet married to) or "partner" (which can be used for both married and unmarried couples). Another common mistake is using an incorrect plural form like *spices* instead of the correct *spouses*.
