Words that make mistakes

1. Assortments of fried cheeses
   Cheese can also be fried, a great snack, by the way. Except the title is incorrect. With hot, everything is not so simple in Russian. You need to know where to write one "n" and where two. Dependent words will help to determine, or rather their presence or absence. In this case, there are no dependent words, so we write one “n”. If you add two more words to the phrase – “the range of fried cheeses in the pan”, then the spelling changes and a double “n” appears. It depends on the wording.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Grilled vegetables, fries
   Spoiler: No need for a hyphen. The names of dishes cooked on the grill are written separately and without a hyphen: grilled vegetables, grilled chicken. For French fries, the same rule applies. No wisdom, just remember.
   
   
   
   
3. Half a chicken on the grill
   I don't think it was supposed to be the sex of the chicken, but someone didn't remember the rules. In fact, there is nothing complicated: if the “sex” stands before the consonant, then the word is written together. That’s why it’s the right “half-chicken.” Of course, there are a couple of exceptions to words, the second part of which begins with "L": half a liter, half a lemon. We also leave a hyphen if there is a vowel after the “floor”.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Mexican dinner.
   A delicious dinner is probably just something missing. There's a hyphen lost here. We're sure it's just a typo, and you certainly know it, but it won't be superfluous to remind you. The prefix "in-" with words is written together, but in adverbs in -om / him, -ki, -y - through a hyphen. Like Mexican dinner, homemade potatoes. It tasted better.
   
   
   
   
5. Awacado
   I'm sure it was just a typo, but we couldn't help but notice spelling error. Now this fashionable fruit can be found everywhere, it has gained unprecedented popularity. But it is even more fashionable to know how to spell its name correctly. So, it is correct to write "avocado" and not otherwise. Not even an exception, right?
   
   
   
   
6. Sandwich
   A quick snack will always come to the rescue when you need to satisfy hunger. However, there is no need to hurry with his writing. The word is foreign, so there is no certainty about it. However, experts say that it is still the right “sandwich” or “sandwich”.
   
   
   
   
7. Lamb's shin, languished in cream sauce
   Again, those "Ns," the real trouble with them. With their number, you can never guess for sure. This is the rule we discussed above when we wrote about cheese. At the same time, dependent words tell us that we need to write with two “n”. Dead in what? In cream sauce.
   
   
   
   
8. zucchini
   It's such a simple word, but you can get confused. Although the word comes from the Italian zucchini, in Russian it is written with one “k”. By the way, good housewives know how much zucchini is valued in cooking.
   
   
   
   
9. Mini pizza.
   A dish from the children's menu with the same childish error. Once again, if the word begins with “mini” or “maxi”, a hyphen is put after the first part. Of course, there are exceptions: minivan, minipiano, but you will not find them on the menu.
   
   
   
   
10. maracua
    The poor letter “y” is always disliked and missed, and sometimes attributed where not needed. Let’s simplify the relationship with this letter. Remember, it spells maracuya correctly.
