action
1
the act of using something
the act of using something for a purpose, usually in an effective way
Használati minta:
the utilization of [something] for [purpose]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners often use "utilization" in everyday speech where "use" is more natural. For example, "The utilization of my phone" sounds too formal in casual conversation; "the use of my phone" is better. Another common mistake is forgetting the preposition "of" after "utilization"; the natural pattern is "the utilization of something," not "the utilization something."

degree or rate of use
how much of something that is available is actually used, often shown as a percentage
Használati minta:
[adjective] utilization of [capacity/resource]
Gyakori hiba:
Learners sometimes confuse general "use" with the more technical idea of "utilization" as a measurable rate. In technical or business reports, "utilization" usually refers to a percentage or level over time (for example, "capacity utilization of 80%") rather than a single act of using something once.
