Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "emphatic" with "empathetic". "Emphatic" means strong and clear in expression; "empathetic" means able to understand and share another person’s feelings. Another mistake is using the wrong preposition: you usually say "emphatic that [clause]" or "emphatic about [something]", not "*emphatic on" in most contexts.
