常見錯誤

❌I bought a non-marketable on the stock exchange.
✅I bought a non-marketable bond from the Treasury.
💡the word is an adjective; it needs a noun like 'bond' or 'security' after it and is not bought on open markets.
❌The shop sells non-marketable goods.
✅The Treasury issues non-marketable bonds.
💡'non-marketable' is a finance term about who can redeem a security, not a general label for unsellable products.
