Cách sử dụng
The word 'patronize' can have two meanings. First, if you 'patronize' a place, like a store, restaurant or gym, it means you go there regularly as a customer. Second, if you 'patronize' someone, it means you talk to them or treat them in a way that is condescending, as if you are better than them. For example, saying "Oh, that's so cute!" in a fake high-pitched voice to someone showing you their artwork could be seen as patronizing. So, you can use the word 'patronize' when you talk about a place that you visit often, or when you want to describe someone who thinks they are better than others and treats them accordingly. It's important to check the context when you use this word, as it can have a negative connotation if used inappropriately.
