To learn by trial and error: the language learner does it as well.
A few days ago, I was talking to an Irish girl while we were waiting for courts to open up during badminton training. I told her that I'd like to go swimming in the University pool, but that I didn't have my bathing suit with me. She informed me that in Ireland, no one would ever say "bathing suit". The most common term used is "swimming togs" and "swimsuit" is acceptable too. I'm glad she corrected me, because otherwise I might have never learned this.
