Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes use "increment" when they mean "installment" (one of several payments). "Increment" is about an increase in amount, not a single payment. For example, say "a salary increment" (a pay rise), not "I will pay in three increments" when you mean three installments.
Nghĩa
small or regular increase

increase (More general and common; does not suggest that the change is small or step-like in the same way that "increment" often does.)
|
step (Often used for one level in a series of changes; less formal and more general than "increment".)
Từ trái nghĩa
decrease (Describes change in the opposite direction, when a number or amount goes down instead of up.)
|
reduction (Focuses on making something smaller, while "increment" focuses on making it larger.)
