Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes use "delicious" to describe people (e.g., *He is delicious*), which usually sounds strange or overly sexual in English. Use words like "handsome", "beautiful", or "attractive" for people. Another confusion is with "nutritious": "delicious" means it tastes good, not that it is healthy.
