return to success or popularity
A time when something becomes strong, successful, or popular again after being weak or not popular.
Vzorec užití:
a revival of [something]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes say *"revival on"* instead of *"revival of"*. Use the preposition **of**: "a revival of interest", "a revival of the industry". Another common confusion is with **survival** (continuing to live) and **revive** (the verb). **Revival** is the noun meaning the act or period of becoming strong or popular again.
Synonyma
comeback (More informal and often used for people, teams, or fashions returning to success.)
|
resurgence (More formal; often used in news and writing for a strong, noticeable return.)
Antonyma
decline (Describes a process of becoming weaker, less successful, or less popular, the opposite of revival.)
|
collapse (A sudden and severe loss of strength or success, strongly opposed to revival.)

religious meeting to renew faith
A special church meeting, often over several days, to make people feel strong faith again or to bring new people to the religion.
Vzorec užití:
hold a revival at [place]
Častá chyba:
Learners may think any religious feeling is a "revival". In common modern English, **a revival** usually means an organized event or series of meetings, not just a private feeling. Also, do not confuse **revival** with **revelation** (a new message from God).
Synonyma
revival meeting (A more explicit term that clearly shows it is a meeting; often used in Christian contexts.)
Antonyma
secularization (Refers to society becoming less religious, which goes against the idea of a religious revival.)

Synonyma
restaging (Focuses on the act of putting the show on stage again; slightly more technical.)

Vzorec užití:
the revival of [someone / a function]
Častá chyba:

Synonyma
resuscitation (More technical and medical; commonly used in hospitals and emergency care.)
