1
make a sound or signal louder
to make a sound or signal louder or stronger, usually with a machine
الگوی کاربرد:
[someone] amplifies [a sound/signal/voice]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use 'amplify' for any kind of increase, even when talking about simple numbers or size (e.g., 'amplify the price'). In everyday speech, 'increase' or 'raise' is more natural for prices or amounts, while 'amplify' is more natural for sound, signals, and more formal or abstract contexts.
هممعنیها
boost (Often used for technical or electronic increases in power or strength, not only sound.)
متضادها
dampen (Suggests making a sound or vibration weaker, softer, or less noticeable.)

2
increase effect, impact, or reach
to make the effect or power of something stronger, or to help a message reach more people
الگوی کاربرد:
[someone/something] amplifies [an effect/message/feeling/problem]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may overuse 'amplify' instead of more common verbs like 'increase', 'raise', or 'make stronger' in everyday contexts (e.g., 'amplify sales', 'amplify my English'). 'Amplify' is more often used in formal writing, media, and discussions of messages, effects, or feelings. In casual speech, 'make something stronger' or 'reach more people' often sounds more natural.
هممعنیها
intensify (Focuses on making something stronger or more extreme, especially feelings or situations, without the idea of wider reach.)
|
magnify (Can mean to make something seem more important or serious, sometimes more than it really is.)
متضادها
diminish (Means to make something smaller or weaker in effect, the opposite of strengthening it.)

3
add detail to a statement
to say or write more about an idea to make it clearer, by adding details or examples
الگوی کاربرد:
[someone] amplifies [a point/remark/argument]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use 'amplify about' (e.g., 'He amplified about his plan'). The correct structure is to amplify something directly ('He amplified his plan') or to use 'elaborate on' in everyday formal English. Also, this sense is quite formal and is more common in writing than in casual speech.
هممعنیها
elaborate (Common in formal English as 'elaborate on', very close in meaning but slightly more common than 'amplify' for this sense.)
متضادها
summarize (Means to make something shorter and more general, the opposite of adding more detail.)
