tailor something to one person
to change or design something so it fits one person or one special case, not everyone the same way
Schemat użycia:
to individualize [something] for [someone/something]
Częsty błąd:
Learners often use *individualize* when *individual* or *individually* is correct, for example saying *"My individualize work"* instead of *"My individual work"* or *"I worked individually."* Another common issue is overusing *individualize* in informal contexts where *customize* or *personalize* would sound more natural.
Synonimy
customize (Very close in meaning; slightly more common in everyday and business contexts.)
|
personalize (Stresses adding features that reflect a person’s tastes or identity, often in marketing or tech.)
|
tailor (Often used with 'to'; slightly less formal and very common in spoken and written English.)
Antonimy
standardize (Means making the same for everyone, using one fixed model instead of adapting to individuals.)
|
generalize (Means treating many cases in the same broad way, without adjusting to each person or case.)

to show or see that one person or thing is separate and different from the others in a group
Schemat użycia:
to individualize [someone/something] from [a group]
Częsty błąd:

Synonimy
distinguish (General term for seeing or showing differences; not always as formal or technical as *individualize*.)
|
