	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	Hi Lein, There is a slight difference between those verbs. We generally use "notice" when we mean that we perceive something by the eyes. We use "realize" when we become aware of something, but not necessarily "see" it. In this case the black smoke could have been noticed, but the loss of power is "realized".

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	In that case I think 'perceived' may work better.

	lilian canale Number of messages: 14972	They are synonyms. I still like "realize" better. I think it's a matter of style

	Lein Number of messages: 3389	I don't think they are synonyms. To realize has more to do with the mind; to perceive has more to do with the senses. For the translation, the meaning is clear so do keep 'realize' if you want
