సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners often confuse "dough" with "batter". "Dough" is thick and can usually be shaped by hand (for bread, pizza, cookies), while "batter" is thinner and can be poured (for pancakes, cakes). Another mistake is using "dough" for cooked bread; after baking, it is called "bread" or "cookies", not "dough".

సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners may use this slang word in very formal situations (like job interviews or academic writing), where neutral words like "money" or "funds" are better. Another mistake is treating it as countable (e.g., *"two doughs"*); in this sense, "dough" is uncountable and used without a plural.
