Persuade Meaning in English
word
التعريف
To make someone decide to do or believe something by giving reasons, arguments, or encouragement. It usually suggests changing a person's mind successfully.
الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة
Common patterns: 'persuade someone to do something' and 'persuade someone that...'. Stronger and more result-focused than 'encourage'; if you persuade someone, they usually agree in the end. In everyday speech, 'convince' is often more common, but 'persuade' is very natural and slightly more formal.
