Examine something in detailed way
To look at something very carefully so you can understand it or explain it clearly.
Tipar de utilizare:
to analyze [something]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners sometimes add an extra preposition, saying *"analyze about something"* instead of *"analyze something"*. Also, many learners confuse the American spelling **"analyze"** with the British spelling **"analyse"**; both are correct in their own varieties of English.
Sinonime
examine (More general and slightly less formal; does not always suggest a very systematic or detailed study.)
Antonime
ignore (To pay no attention to something instead of looking at it carefully.)
