覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
mistake「間違い、誤り」に複数語尾 -s が付いた形で、発音は /mɪˈsteɪks/。語末の /k/ は無声音なので -s も /s/ と読む。make mistakes「間違える」、check your mistakes「自分の間違いを確認する」、learn from mistakes「間違いから学ぶ」という定番の組み合わせで、複数の誤りをまとめて表す語として覚える。
Mistakes is the regular plural of mistake: add -s when referring to more than one error. It is pronounced /mɪˈsteɪks/; because the base ends with the voiceless /k/ sound, the plural ending is /s/. Learn it through frequent combinations: make mistakes means to do something incorrectly, check your mistakes means to review your errors, and learn from your mistakes means to improve because of them. The prefix mis- often signals something wrong, as in misunderstand and misjudge, while take helps preserve the word’s historical structure.

mistakes の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古ノルド語 mistaka（誤って取る）に由来し、mis-（誤った）+ take（取る）の構成。原義は「間違ったものを掴む」こと。関連語に misunderstand（誤解する）、misguide（誤導する）など mis- 接頭辞の語が多数あり、「誤り・間違い」を表す生産的な接頭辞である。
Mistakes is the plural of mistake, formed with the regular plural ending -s. Mistake entered English from Old Norse mistaka, literally “to take wrongly,” combining mis-, expressing error or wrongness, with taka, “to take.” Its structure is comparable to modern English words such as misunderstand and misjudge, in which mis- marks an incorrect action. The noun eventually developed the general sense of an error in action, judgment, belief, or calculation.
