quality of professional behavior
The way a person works and behaves when they are careful, skilled, polite, and serious about their job.
Vartosenos šablonas:
a high level of professionalism in [activity]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "professional" and "professionalism" and say things like *"I like his professional"* instead of *"I like his professionalism"*. Another common mistake is treating "professionalism" as countable, e.g. *"many professionalisms"*; it is normally uncountable and used without "a" or plural "s".
Sinonimai
professional conduct (Focuses more directly on outward behavior and actions rather than the inner quality.)
|
competence (Emphasizes skill and ability; does not always include politeness or appropriate behavior.)
Antonimai
unprofessionalism (General opposite; describes behavior that is not suitable for a professional situation.)
