love and loyalty to one’s country
A strong feeling of love and loyalty for your country, and wanting to support and protect it.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone] feels patriotism toward [a country]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse “patriotism” with “nationalism.” In many contexts, “patriotism” suggests a positive love and responsibility toward one’s country, while “nationalism” can suggest believing one’s country is better than others or should come first in every situation. Another mistake is treating “patriotism” as countable (*“a patriotism”*); it is almost always uncountable and used without an article, or with adjectives (e.g., “strong patriotism,” “their patriotism”).
Mga kasingkahulugan
national pride (Focuses more on a positive, emotional feeling of pride, while patriotism can also imply duty and action.)
|
devotion to one’s country (A more formal, descriptive phrase that emphasizes long-term commitment rather than the general feeling.)
|
nationalism (Often more political and can suggest a belief that one’s country is better than others; patriotism is usually seen as less aggressive.)
Mga kasalungat
disloyalty (Lack of loyalty to one’s country, the direct opposite attitude of patriotism.)
|
treason (Active betrayal of one’s country, which strongly opposes the supportive attitude in patriotism.)
