Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes confuse the adjective "manual" with the adverb "manually" and say *"I did it manual"* instead of *"I did it manually"*. Another common mistake is putting it in the wrong position, for example *"I manually it did"*; it usually comes after the verb or at the end: *"I did it manually"*.

by direct user action in systems

Tipar de utilizare:
to update [something] manually in [a system]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes think "manually" in technical texts means "by reading the manual" rather than "not automatically". Another issue is overusing "by hand" in formal documentation, where "manually" is more standard and precise.
Sinonime
by hand (Can be used in technical contexts but sounds less precise and less standard than "manually" in documentation or instructions.)
Antonime
automatically (Describes operations performed by scripts, programs, or scheduled tasks without direct user input.)
