Cách sử dụng
The word "understate" means to express or describe something as less important or serious than it really is. It is often used to downplay something negative or to make a situation seem less severe. For example, if you have a huge success but you don’t want to boast about it, you can say "I'm not the best but I did ok." It is important to use this word correctly in order to avoid miscommunication because it can be seen as a way to minimize the true impact of something.
