Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use 'chubby' in formal or medical situations where 'overweight' or 'obese' is more appropriate. 'Chubby' is usually a gentle, everyday word and can sound either cute or slightly teasing, depending on the context. Also, some learners confuse 'chubby' with 'chunky'; 'chunky' can describe objects (like soup or jewelry) more often than 'chubby' can.
