Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "stunning" only for people, but it is also very common for places, clothes, performances, and other things (e.g., "a stunning view", "a stunning design"). Another mistake is saying *"very stunning"; native speakers usually say "absolutely/quite/really stunning" instead.

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may confuse this meaning with the "very beautiful" meaning and describe people as "stunning" when they really want to say that the person is shocked (which would be "stunned"). For example, "She was stunning by the news" is wrong; it should be "She was stunned by the news" for the surprised feeling, or "She was stunning" for appearance.

Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes mix this meaning with the emotional uses and think "stunning" always means "very beautiful" or "very surprising." In safety or sports contexts, a "stunning blow" is physical, not emotional. Also, some learners confuse "stunning" with the noun "stun gun" and treat it as a noun; here it is an adjective describing the effect.
