Erro comum:
Learners often confuse "hardy" with "hearty". Use "hardy" for people, animals, or things that are strong and can live in hard conditions (a hardy farmer, hardy mountain goats). Use "hearty" for warm feelings or strong enjoyment (a hearty laugh, a hearty welcome) and for filling food (a hearty meal).
