Erro comum:
Learners sometimes use "warlike" when they only mean "angry" or "upset." "Warlike" is stronger and suggests a real willingness to start or support war or serious violence, not just a bad mood. Another confusion is with "military": "warlike" describes an attitude toward conflict, while "military" describes armies, soldiers, or defense in a more neutral way.

Erro comum:
Learners sometimes use "warlike" instead of "military" for neutral descriptions, for example saying "warlike base" instead of "military base." "Warlike" often suggests that war is near or that the situation is prepared for conflict, not just that it belongs to the army. Use "warlike" when you want to suggest an active connection to war or fighting, not just a general link to the armed forces.
