اشتباه‌های رایج	Confused with 'capability' — 'ability' refers to a skill, while 'capability' refers to the potential to develop a skill., Using 'ability' without a verb or context can make sentences unclear., Incorrectly pluralizing as 'abilities' when referring to a single skill.	Confusing with 'capacity' which refers to volume or quantity., Using it as a verb instead of a noun., Misplacing the emphasis in pronunciation.	Confused with 'competency'; both refer to abilities but 'competence' is broader., Misused as a verb; 'competence' is always a noun., Spelling errors, especially with the second 'e'.	'Power' as a verb — learners often mistakenly use 'power' when they mean to say 'empower'., Confusing 'power' with 'might', as they have different nuances., Misusing 'power' in phrases, e.g., 'the power of' requires a specified noun.	Confused with 'ability' — skill usually implies training or practice., Used as a verb incorrectly — skill is a noun.
نکته‌های کاربرد	از کلمه 'توانایی' وقتی استفاده کن که داری به مهارت‌ها یا استعدادهای یه نفر اشاره می‌کنی. تو مکالمه‌های خیلی خودمونی، جایی که کلمه‌های ساده‌تری مثل 'مهارت' مناسب‌ترن، بهتره ازش استفاده نکنی. Use 'ability' in contexts where referring to someone's skills or talents. Avoid it in very casual conversations where simpler words like 'skill' may be more appropriate.	Use 'capability' in professional or academic contexts to discuss skills or potential. It's not commonly used in casual conversations.	Use 'competence' in contexts such as job skills or educational achievements. Avoid in very casual conversations; prefer 'skill' or 'ability' instead.	هم توی موقعیت‌های رسمی استفاده میشه هم غیررسمی. مثلاً وقتی درباره سیاست یا رهبری حرف می‌زنیم، 'قدرت' معمولاً یه معنی سنگین و مهم داره، ولی توی حرفای روزمره ممکنه به برق یا زور و توان اشاره کنه. حواست باشه وقتی درباره موضوعات جدی حرف می‌زنی، خیلی خودمونی ازش استفاده نکنی. Used in both formal and informal contexts. In discussions about politics or leadership, 'power' often has a weighty connotation, while in casual settings it might refer to electricity or strength. Avoid using it in overly casual contexts when discussing serious topics.	Use 'skill' to talk about abilities in various contexts, from sports to arts. Avoid using it in very informal settings where simpler terms like 'talent' might fit better.
