The ongoing research examined the complex nature of collocations in the context of incidental vocabulary acquisition of challenging collocation forms to internalize in English. A total of 157 participants engaged in a series of five timed vocabulary assessments, which were administered sequentially via Google Forms. The percentage of correct responses was gathered and analyzed according to each specific collocation type. Notably, the participants experienced the greatest difficulty with the "N + V" collocation form, while they achieved their highest accuracy in the "Adv + Adj" form. The research findings indicate that students faced significant challenges with "N + V" collocations, while they demonstrated a greater ease in understanding "Adv + Adj" collocations. Consequently, several recommendations can be proposed to address these disparities in comprehension.
