Default Re: Can I use the word DOMINATE?

No: "to dominate" means literally "to rule over" or "to govern"; as a metaphor, it can mean "to overshadow" to "to characterize" -- for example, "The cooling towers of the power station dominated the landscape."

In the sense you want it to mean, "to master" is the correct choice.
