Częsty błąd:
Learners often do not realize that "lonesome" is very close in meaning to "lonely" and can usually be replaced by it. However, "lonesome" is used less often and can sound a bit more emotional or poetic. Also, some learners incorrectly use "lonesome" only for places; for feelings, it is more natural to say a person "feels lonesome."

This use is especially common in stories, songs, and descriptions.
