Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse "explicitly" with "implicitly". "Explicitly" means something is said in clear words; "implicitly" means it is only suggested or understood. Another common mistake is using the adjective form instead of the adverb, for example saying *"He explained it explicit"* instead of *"He explained it explicitly"*. Also, in very casual speech, native speakers often prefer simpler adverbs like "clearly" instead of the more formal-sounding "explicitly".

Greșeală frecventă:
Learners may not realize that when talking about media ratings, "explicitly" often suggests a strong level of sexual or violent detail. They sometimes use only "sexual" or "violent" and miss the idea of degree, for example saying *"The film is sexual"* instead of *"The film is explicitly sexual"* when they want to stress clear and direct sexual content. Another mistake is using the adjective "explicit" where the adverb is needed, for example *"The video is very explicit sexual"* instead of *"The video is explicitly sexual"*.

Sinonime

|
openly (Can refer to not hiding sexual content, but does not by itself imply the strong level of detail that "explicitly" suggests.)
Antonime
implicitly (Sex or violence may be suggested but not shown directly, which contrasts with being shown explicitly.)
|
