1
make an exact copy of something
To make the same document, picture, sound, or text again as a copy.
Vzorec užití:
to reproduce [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "reproduce" when they only need the simple verb "produce" (e.g. saying "The factory reproduces cars" instead of "The factory produces cars"). Use "reproduce" when there is an original thing and you make an exact or close copy of it.
Synonyma
copy (The most general word; often sounds more everyday and less formal than "reproduce".)
|
duplicate (Stresses making a second, identical copy; often used in technical or office settings.)
Antonyma
destroy (If you destroy something, you remove or break it so it cannot be reproduced or used again, which is the opposite of copying it.)

2
produce offspring; have babies
When animals, plants, or people make new living things of the same kind (have babies or new plants grow).
Vzorec užití:
[animals/plants/people] reproduce [sexually/asexually]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "reproduce" with "grow" or "develop". "Reproduce" is about making new individuals (babies, seeds, new organisms), not just getting bigger or older.
Synonyma
breed (Commonly used about animals, especially when humans control how they reproduce.)
|
procreate (A formal word, often used about humans, meaning to have children.)

3
produce the same result again
To make the same result or effect happen again, like when you do an experiment or performance a second time and it is the same as before.
Vzorec užití:
to reproduce [results/effect/conditions/behavior]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use only "repeat" in scientific or technical contexts where English speakers prefer "reproduce" or "replicate" to show that the result is the same, not just that the action is done again.
Synonyma
replicate (Often used in science to mean to repeat an experiment or result exactly and get the same outcome.)
|
repeat (A more general term for doing something again; it does not always suggest that the result is exactly the same.)
Antonyma
fail to reproduce (Describes the situation where the same result or effect does not happen again, which is the opposite of successfully reproducing it.)
Kolokace
reproduce the results
|reproduce the findings
