Usage notes
- Common in business, education, and cultural contexts; sounds more formal than migliorare or mettere in risalto.
- Use valorizzare qualcuno/qualcosa directly: no preposition. Learners often wrongly add di or per.
- For people, it often means recognizing or developing potential, not just praising: valorizzare i dipendenti, le competenze.
