Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse "playful" with "playable". "Playful" describes a person, animal, or behavior that likes fun and games. "Playable" describes something that can be played, like a song or a video game. Learners may also use "playful" when they mean "flirty"; while playful behavior can be flirty, "playful" itself is more general and focuses on fun, not romance.
