I have Asperger's Syndrome and quite often when people patronize me, I honestly thought they are being kind to me! For me, the verb patronize was the hardest verb to understand. In my younger days, my pocket dictionary defined patronize as this: to treat in a condescending way. What does it mean to condescend? Pocket dictionary: "Condescend: be gracious about doing a thing beneath one's dignity, or to deal with others haughtily." What does it mean, "beneath one's dignity?" What does haughty mean? Pocket dictionary: "Haughty: scornfully proud." What does scorn mean? Pocket dictionary: "Scorn: disdain, contempt." What do those mean? Pocket dictionary: "Disdain: scorn." (Circular definition--I don't get it!) Pocket dictionary: "Contempt: scorn, disgrace." (Again, circular definition.) Throughout most of my life I had trouble to fully understand what is meant when somebody says, "Don't patronize me!" I first heard this expression when I was 16, and up until now (51 years old), I didn't fully understand what is meant by that. I think I have a better understanding of it now, and hopefully after 35 years I hope I finally got it.

This is perhaps the best comparison that I've come across. Simplified with examples, solid and informative. You sound like a veteran professional educator. God bless you, Sir.🙏

I could finally understand the subtle difference between these two words. I was searching for hours haha. Thank you so much, sir.

[abdelmalekboutaj]

I am still in need of more clarification to grasp the meaning of these complicated words. Thank you my dear teacher.

And for the patronize, it is nothing to do with lowering your status but the person being patronized should feel that his/her status being lowered.

I was searching for definitions, usage and comparisons of these two words on the internet for like an hour. No clear answer found.
And then I came across your video and this 6-minute video solved all of the questions I 've had in my mind. Brilliant. Thanks very much!!! 😀

I have a few questions:
Are Condescending and Patronizing broad terms referring to any such rude, disrespectful or offensive conduct where someone behaves superior to another ?

When a person is condescending, are they always aware they are condescending ? Or, is a condescending person behaving in that way due to feeling uncomfortable dealing with someone they believe is inferior ? 

At 3:12, the man in this video gave an example of patronizing behavior. He said "This is a very lovely car. You do have cars in your country don't you ?" Would the person who would say something like that, be so naive to think there are no cars in impoverished countries ? Or, would the person be deliberately insulting the owner of the car 
?
Would bullying be an example of condescending or patronizing behavior ? The bully behaves in such a way to feel superior to the victim.

It is an annoying and sometimes offensive attitude. A person's dignity should never be offended but we all know that there are people who have such a nature . Many thanks

Thank you. I was wanting more insight into "patronize" and this helped very much. I will be visiting your channel a lot because I would like develop a finer granularity in the words I use. If I may say, I think of a "reprimand" as coming from a person with more authority. As you say, it can be official, as a letter from an employer. But a teacher or a parent can reprimand a child, but a child can never to said to reprimand an adult, however much they feel they have the authority as a human to do so. So yes, the teacher or parent has the "official" license to reprimand, but I think of it as coming from authority.

As a teacher, you patronize our knowledge.

Very helpful to see these examples. It helps to explain, anti social or narcissistic behavior sometimes.
