To make something colloquial or informal; to adapt language or style to be more conversational and less formal.
From 'colloquial' combined with the verb-forming suffix '-ize,' meaning to cause something to become informal or conversational in style.
When authors colloquialize formal text, they're essentially translating stuffy language into the way humans actually talk—turning 'I shall not' into 'I won't,' making words feel alive!
