Confused with 'entrepreneur' or 'entourage'., Using it in informal contexts, like chatting with friends., Incorrectly spelling it as 'enterprize'.	Confusing 'establishment' with 'establish' - they have different meanings., Using 'establishment' as a verb instead of a noun., Mispronouncing the word, particularly the second syllable.	Confused with 'firme', thinking it has a different meaning., Used 'firm' in place of 'secure' or 'stable' incorrectly., Assumed all 'firm' meanings are interchangeable.

Avoid in casual phrases unrelated to business, like 'keeping company' (which means spending time with someone).	主要用在商业语境里。有时候也带点创新或者主动的意思。平时聊天不太常用，更适合正式或专业的场合。 Used primarily in business contexts. Can imply a sense of innovation or initiative. Less common in casual conversation, more suitable for formal or professional settings.	当指代一家企业、机构或系统时，使用 'establishment'。它比较中性，正式和非正式场合都可以用，但在日常对话中可能听起来更正式一些。 Use 'establishment' when referring to a business, institution, or system. It is neutral and can be used in both formal and informal contexts, but may sound more formal in casual conversations.	用'firm'来形容不软的东西，比如一个坚固的床垫。它也可以表示强烈和坚定，比如在某个问题上的坚定立场。避免在过于随意的场合使用。 Use 'firm' to describe something that is not soft, like a firm mattress. It can also mean strong and resolute, like a firm stance on an issue. Avoid using it in overly casual contexts.
