Veelgemaakte fout:
Learners sometimes confuse "friar" with "fryer". "Friar" is a religious man, while "fryer" is a pan or machine used for cooking food in hot oil. Learners may also use "monk" and "friar" as exact synonyms; in many contexts this is understandable, but a friar usually works among ordinary people, while a monk usually lives in a closed religious community.
