Sık yapılan hata:
Do not use mutate for ordinary everyday changes like changing plans; use change instead.
Eş anlamlılar
change (broader and less specifically genetic)
|
evolve (suggests gradual biological development over time, not always a single genetic change)
|
alter (more general and often transitive)
Zıt anlamlılar
remain stable (means not undergo genetic change)
|
stay unchanged (general opposite meaning)

Eş anlamlılar
transform (more common and neutral for a clear change in form)
|
evolve (suggests gradual development rather than sudden change)
|
morph (more informal and often visual or cultural)
Zıt anlamlılar
remain unchanged (means not change in form or character)
|
stay the same (simple everyday opposite)
