Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often confuse "rim" with "brim" and "edge". Use "rim" for the physical top edge of a round object, especially cups and glasses. "Brim" often suggests the top edge when something is full (e.g. "filled to the brim"), and "edge" is more general. Also note the common pattern "the rim of the glass", not "the glass's rim" in most neutral styles.
Kahulugan
outer edge of a round object
Mga kolokasyon
the rim of the glass
|chip on the rim
|cup rim
|around the rim
|thin rim
Mga kasingkahulugan
edge (More general; can be any border, not only the circular top of a container.)

lip (Very close in meaning, but often used when something touches the edge gently, as in 'at the lip of the cup'.)

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may confuse "rim" with "hoop" or "basket". In basketball, "rim" is specifically the metal ring, while "basket" can mean the whole goal or the act of scoring. Also, we say "hit the rim" or "off the rim", not "hit on the rim".
Kahulugan
metal ring of basketball hoop
Mga kolokasyon
hit the rim
|off the rim
|above the rim
|rolls around the rim
|bounce off the rim
Mga kasingkahulugan

metal outer part of a wheel
Mga kolokasyon
alloy rims
|steel rims

outer edge of a crater or canyon
Mga kolokasyon
the rim of the crater
|the canyon rim

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes try to use "rim" like "trim" (e.g. *"rim your hair"), which is incorrect. As a verb, "rim" is usually used for things that go around the edge (trees, mountains, sauce, salt, metal) and not for cutting or shaping.
Kahulugan
to form or provide an edge
Mga kolokasyon
rimmed with gold
|mountains rim the valley

Mga kasingkahulugan
