examine something very carefully
To look at or check something very carefully to find details, mistakes, or problems.
用法パターン：
to scrutinize [something] carefully
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use "scrutinize" in very casual contexts where a simpler verb like "look at" or "check" is more natural. "Scrutinize" is relatively formal and usually suggests a very careful, detailed, or critical examination, not just normal looking. Another common mistake is forgetting that "scrutinize" almost always takes a direct object (you scrutinize something or someone).
類義語
