عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "uncle" with "cousin". An "uncle" is your parent's brother (or their sister's husband); a "cousin" is the child of your uncle or aunt. Learners may also call any older man an "uncle" in English, which can sound strange unless he is a family friend or real relative; in most cases "man" or "sir" is more natural for strangers.
