How it's used
Focuses on restoring vitality or prosperity to something that has declined or stagnated. It carries a formal or official tone, often appearing in news reports or political discourse regarding industries, economies, or cultural traditions. Unlike casual verbs for improvement, it implies a large scale effort to bring back former glory.
Examples
The government wants to revitalise the economy of this district.
Do you have any way to revitalise this old shop?

Common mistake
Avoid using it for personal energy levels or minor improvements, as it sounds overly grand and out of place in casual conversation. Use 提神 for waking up or 改善 for general improvements instead.
