Form a picture in your mind
To make a picture in your mind of something you cannot see right now.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
[someone] visualizes [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes say *"visualize about something"*, but the correct pattern is *"visualize something"* without a preposition. Many learners also overuse *visualize* where simple *see* or *imagine* is more natural in casual speech.
Συνώνυμα
imagine (Most common everyday verb; does not always suggest a clear, picture-like image.)
|
picture (More informal and vivid; often stresses a clear or detailed mental image.)
|
envision (Slightly more formal; often used for plans or futures, not just static images.)
Αντώνυμα
ignore (To deliberately not think about or mentally represent something.)

To show information as pictures, like charts or graphs, so it is easier to understand.

Συνώνυμα

|
graph (Specifically means to put numbers into a graph format.)

Mentally picture a desired result
To clearly see in your mind something good you want to happen, to help yourself reach it.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
[someone] visualizes [desired outcome]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes think this sense is always religious or mystical, but it is common in sports, coaching, and therapy as a mental training tool. Do not say *"visualize for success"*; say *"visualize success"* or *"visualize yourself succeeding"*.
Συνώνυμα
envision (Often used for imagining future plans or achievements; similar level of formality.)
|
mentally rehearse (Emphasizes repeated practice in the mind, not just a single image.)
Αντώνυμα
doubt (To expect or fear that success will not happen instead of mentally picturing it clearly.)

Μοτίβο χρήσης:

|
