Kosa la kawaida:
Learners sometimes say "steal a plane" or "steal a bus" when the driver and passengers are still inside. Use "hijack" when someone takes control of a vehicle that is already in use, usually with people on board. "Steal" is more general and often refers to taking something away when no one is using it.

Kosa la kawaida:
Learners sometimes think "hijack" can only be used about planes or other vehicles. In modern English it is very common to say someone "hijacks" a conversation, a meeting, a protest, or a movement when they unfairly take control. Also, do not use "hijack" for normal, planned leadership; for example, a manager does not "hijack" a meeting just by leading it.
Maana
