Bring back to life or consciousness
To make someone who has stopped breathing or has passed out start breathing and wake up again.
نمط الاستخدام:
to revive [someone] / to revive [someone] with [treatment]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "revive" with "relieve". "Revive" means to bring someone back to life or consciousness, while "relieve" means to make pain or stress less strong. Another mistake is to say "revive back" (e.g. *"They revived him back"*). The word "back" is unnecessary; just say "They revived him."
المرادفات

الأضداد
kill (To cause someone’s death, the opposite of bringing someone back to life.)

Give new energy or strength
To make a tired person or thing feel full of energy or life again.
نمط الاستخدام:
to revive [someone/something] / to revive [someone’s] [spirits/energy]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use "wake up" instead of "revive" in emotional or energy contexts (e.g. *"The news woke up his spirits"*). In this sense you should say "revived his spirits" or "lifted his spirits." Also, "revive" is more formal than "give energy to," so in casual speech people often say "picked me up" instead of "revived me."
المرادفات
refresh (Suggests making someone feel less tired; often milder and used for short breaks or drinks.)
الأضداد
drain (To take away someone’s energy, the opposite of giving new energy.)
المتلازمات اللفظية

Bring back something that declined
To bring back an activity or thing that was weak, quiet, or not used, and make it strong or popular again.
نمط الاستخدام:
to revive [something] / to revive [something] in [place/area]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may say *"bring again"* or *"start again"* instead of "revive" in formal writing. "Revive" is preferred in news or academic style for bringing back an activity, economy, or tradition. Also, do not use "revive" with a person in this sense; you revive their career, business, or reputation, not the person themselves.
المرادفات
restore (Focuses on bringing something back to a former state; slightly broader and often used for buildings, rights, or systems.)
الأضداد
abandon (To stop doing or supporting something completely, instead of bringing it back.)

Become active or strong again
To grow or become strong or popular again after being weak or quiet for some time.
نمط الاستخدام:
[something] revives / [activity] revives in [place/time]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes add an extra object in this intransitive use, saying *"revive the economy again"* where "revive" is fine, but when you say "the economy is reviving," you must not add an object. Also, avoid saying *"revive up"*; "revive" alone is correct.
المرادفات
recover (Emphasizes getting back to a normal or good state; very common for economies and health.)
الأضداد
decline (To become weaker or less; the opposite of becoming strong again.)
