formally reveal or announce
to show or tell people about something new for the first time, usually in a formal way
Модел на употреба:
to unveil [something] to [people/the public]
Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes use *unveil* for everyday small things where *show* or *tell* is more natural (e.g., saying *She unveiled her new haircut to her friends* can sound too formal or dramatic). *Unveil* is usually used for official, public, or newsworthy things like products, plans, policies, or artworks.
Синоними
reveal (More general; does not always suggest a public or formal presentation.)
|
announce (Focuses on giving information in words, not on visually showing something.)
|
launch (Common for new products or services; emphasizes starting to sell or use, not just showing.)
Антоними
conceal (Means to keep something hidden or secret instead of making it known.)
|

remove cover to show something
to take off a cloth or cover so people can see what is under it
Модел на употреба:
to unveil [object/statue/person]
Честа грешка:
Learners sometimes confuse this with taking off normal clothes, where *take off* or *undress* is more natural (e.g., *He unveiled his jacket* is incorrect; say *He took off his jacket*). *Unveil* is used when a special cover or veil is removed to present something.
Синоними
uncover (Very close in meaning; slightly more general and less associated with formal ceremonies.)
|
draw back the curtain (More specific image; used especially with curtains rather than veils or cloths.)
Антоними
cover (Means to put something over an object so it cannot be seen.)
|
veil (Means to place a veil or covering over something, the opposite physical action of unveiling.)
