process of making something modern
The process of changing something so it is modern and uses new ideas or technology.
Kullanım kalıbı:
the modernization of [something]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use *modernization* when they mean *modernity* or *modern life*. *Modernization* is the process of making something modern (e.g., modernization of the railway), while *modernity* is the state or quality of being modern (e.g., life in modernity). Another mistake is using it as a verb (*to modernization*); the verb is *to modernize*.

a modernization of [something]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes confuse this sense (a specific modern version) with the general process sense. If you mean *one specific work* made modern (for example, a movie based on an old play), use this sense: *a modernization of the play*. If you mean the general process of changing many things to be modern, use the process sense: *the modernization of the theater system*.

Zıt anlamlılar
original (The first version, before any modern changes are made.)
|
traditional version (A version that keeps the old style and setting instead of changing them to be modern.)
