Sık yapılan hata:
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".
