Typisk fejl:
Learners sometimes use *streamline* with people instead of systems or processes (e.g., '*We streamlined three workers*'). It is more natural to say you streamline *processes, systems, operations, or workflows*, not people. Learners also sometimes confuse *streamline* with *stream*, which usually refers to flowing water or online media content.

Typisk fejl:
Learners may confuse this physical, design-related sense with the business sense of *making a process efficient*. In this meaning, *streamline* is about the physical shape of objects like cars, planes, or boats and how they move through air or water.
Betydning
give a smooth, low-drag shape
Ordforbindelser
streamline the car's body
|streamline the fuselage
|streamline the hull
|streamline the design
|streamline the shape
|aerodynamically streamlined
Synonymer
streamline (design) (Often used as an adjective or participle (e.g., *a streamlined body*) to highlight the aerodynamic result of the shaping.)
|
smooth (Means to remove roughness; may not always imply a fully aerodynamic, drag-reducing form.)
Antonymer
roughen (To make a surface less smooth, which typically increases drag instead of reducing it.)
|
blunt (To give an object a thick, non-tapered front that increases resistance in a fluid.)

Definition
to give a car, plane, or other object a smooth shape so it can move more easily through air or water

Typisk fejl:
This noun sense is rare outside technical or engineering contexts. Learners are more likely to meet *streamlined* as an adjective (e.g., *a streamlined car*) than *streamline* as a noun.
Betydning
smooth, drag-reducing physical shape
Ordforbindelser

|a classic streamline
|the streamline of the hull
|the vehicle's streamline
|design the streamline
|follow the streamline
Synonymer
aerodynamic shape (More common descriptive phrase; specifically highlights movement through air with low resistance.)

Betydning
line tangent to fluid flow
Ordforbindelser

Synonymer
flow line (Near-technical synonym sometimes used in fluid mechanics; emphasizes representation of flow direction.)
Antonymer
