strong desire to compete or win
The feeling or quality of a person who really wants to win or be better than other people.
Használati minta:
[someone]'s competitiveness
Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes confuse "competitiveness" with "competition." "Competitiveness" is the quality or feeling of wanting to win (e.g., "her competitiveness"), while "competition" is the event or situation where people try to win (e.g., "a swimming competition").
Szinonimák

How able a company, industry, or country is to do well against others in business or trade.

Szinonimák
economic strength (Stresses overall power and stability, not only ability to beat rivals in markets.)
|
market position (Focuses on relative standing in the market, not the underlying ability to compete.)

level or intensity of competition
How strong and intense the competition is in a place or activity, for example in a sports league or job market.
Használati minta:
the competitiveness of [a market/league/field]
Gyakori hiba:

Use this sense mainly in patterns like "the competitiveness of X" or "the level of competitiveness."
