Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often use "augment" in very casual speech where "increase" or "grow" would sound more natural. "Augment" is more formal and is common in writing, business, and academic contexts. Another mistake is saying "augment up" or "augment more"; the verb itself already includes the idea of increase, so you should say "augment sales" not "augment up sales".

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may confuse the general sense of "augment" (to increase) with the specific musical sense. In music, "augment" has precise rules about how the note or interval is changed, so it should only be used when talking about musical structure, not about making the volume louder.
Kahulugan

augmentum
C2
The Indo-European augment is preserved in several forms of the Ancient Greek verb.
Az indoeurópai augmentum az ógörög ige több alakjában is fennmaradt.
In Sanskrit, the augment is attached to the verb to mark certain past tenses.
A szanszkritban az augmentum az igéhez kapcsolódik bizonyos múlt idők jelölésére.
Some dialects occasionally drop the augment in fast speech.
Mga Halimbawa para sa Nag-aaral
The teacher showed us how the Greek augment works.
A tanár megmutatta, hogyan működik a görög augmentum.
In this language, the past tense uses an augment before the verb.
Ebben a nyelvben a múlt időben egy augmentum kerül az ige elé.
Without the augment, the verb has a different meaning.
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes think "augment" in linguistics means any general increase. In this technical sense, it is a fixed grammatical term for a specific vowel or syllable used in certain languages, not just any added sound.
Kahulugan
a grammatical prefix marking past tense
