make an exact copy
to make something that is the same as something else
Mẫu sử dụng:
to replicate [something]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes use *replicate* instead of the simpler *copy* in everyday situations (e.g., saying *replicate my homework* sounds too technical; *copy my homework* is more natural). Another common mistake is confusing *replicate* (verb) with *replica* (noun), for example saying *I bought a replicate of the bag* instead of *I bought a replica of the bag*.
Từ đồng nghĩa

|
reproduce (Often used for images, sounds, or technical copying; slightly more formal.)

biology: to reproduce itself
for cells, viruses, or DNA to make more copies of themselves
Mẫu sử dụng:
[cells/viruses/DNA] replicate
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners may confuse this biological meaning with the general meaning of *copy*. In everyday speech, we do not say *people replicate* to mean *people have children*; we say *people reproduce* or *have children*. *Replicate* in this sense is mainly used for cells, viruses, and DNA in scientific or medical contexts.
Từ đồng nghĩa
reproduce (General biological term; slightly broader, can also refer to whole organisms having offspring.)
Từ trái nghĩa
die (Opposite outcome in a biological context: the organism or cell stops living instead of making more copies.)

repeat a study or experiment
to do the same study or test again to see if you get the same results
Mẫu sử dụng:
to replicate [a study/experiment/results]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners may treat this as just *repeat* without understanding the reason. In research English, *replicate a study* is not just doing it again for practice; it specifically means doing it again to check if the results are reliable. Also, do not say *replicate again* (double marking); just *replicate the study* is enough.
Từ đồng nghĩa
reproduce (Common in research writing: *reproduce the results*; focuses on achieving the same outcomes.)
Từ trái nghĩa
invalidate (If you cannot replicate results, you may invalidate the original study.)

one of several identical experimental units
one of several copies of the same test or sample in an experiment
Mẫu sử dụng:
a/an [adjective] replicate
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse *replicate* (noun, technical) with *replica* (noun, normal) meaning *copy or imitation*, as in *a replica of the Statue of Liberty*. In scientific writing, *replicate* is used for repeated samples or tests, while *replica* would sound wrong.
Từ đồng nghĩa
repeat (Less technical; in everyday language you might say *three repeats of the test* instead of *three replicates*.)
Từ trái nghĩa
