lack of courage or bravery
A state of being too afraid to do something difficult, dangerous, or morally right, when courage is needed.
వాడుక నమూనా:
[someone]'s cowardice in [doing something]
సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners sometimes say *"a cowardice"* as if it were a countable noun; in most uses, "cowardice" is uncountable and used without "a". They may also confuse "cowardice" (noun) with "cowardly" (adjective), saying *"his cowardly"* instead of "his cowardice" or *"a cowardice man"* instead of "a cowardly man". Another mistake is using "cowardness", which is non-standard; the correct noun is "cowardice".
