mix things so they combine
to mix things so they come together as one smooth thing
รูปแบบการใช้:
to blend [things] / to blend [A] and/with [B]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners often use only 'mix' and do not use 'blend'. 'Blend' is preferred when the result is smooth or the parts can no longer be clearly seen, such as in soups, smoothies, or colors. Another mistake is saying 'blend up' like 'mix up'; usually English speakers just say 'blend it' or 'blend it until smooth'.
คำพ้องความหมาย
mix (More general and common; does not always suggest a smooth or even result the way 'blend' often does.)
คำตรงข้าม
separate (Means to keep or move things apart instead of combining them.)

combine elements so they fit well
to put different ideas, styles, or things together so they go well with each other
รูปแบบการใช้:
to blend [abstract thing] and/with [abstract thing]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes say 'match' instead of 'blend' for ideas and styles (e.g. 'The film matches comedy and drama'). 'Match' is used more for things that look or go together one-to-one, while 'blend' suggests they are mixed into one unified thing.
คำพ้องความหมาย
combine (Broad and neutral; does not always suggest the smooth, harmonious mix that 'blend' implies.)
คำตรงข้าม
clash (Used when styles, colors, or ideas do not go well together and feel unpleasant or conflicting.)
