Failure - what is it? Meaning, synonyms, sentences and interpretation

At a time when modern society insists on constant consumption, moreover, it tells us that we should earn more, to consume more, we will not think about it, is this point of view and ideology really right? Today we will talk about the opposite phenomenon, the phenomenon of failure, it will be entertaining.

Value

We would like to start with etymology and tell the reader about the wonderful connection between “story”, “tale” and “refusal”, but we can’t do anything like this, because a dictionary containing the origin of words cuts off our wings of fantasy, and we forced to operate not with fiction, but with facts. And the truth is that this word is not in the etymological dictionary, so let's start right away with an explanatory one. Rejection is not the most pleasant word, but even it has a meaning, we recognize it:

1. Same as refuse or refuse.
2. Same as a baker.

A mysterious word that hides its true meaning. But we still make him open. But not in order to strike, but only in order to understand the meaning as it should.

So, we explain the meaning of those words that are key in this case. The meaning of the word “refuse” or “refuse (their values ​​coincide):

1. Answer in the negative (on demand, request or offer).
2. To deprive of something, to limit in something.
3. Stop acting as a result of illness or damage (colloquial).
4. Leave, bequeath (obsolete).

Since a baker is a different concept, we therefore give its meaning separately. So, a bekar is “a musical note that cancels the effect of a previous sharp or flat and restores the basic meaning of a note”. We admit honestly that we do not have musical education, therefore we are not able to explain the subtleties of the concept, but we can make sentences that will clarify the meaning of the other meanings of the word “refusal”.

Examples

Dictionary data is good. But they are dead without everyday speech. Therefore, we must make proposals that form a productive alliance with the object of study:

• He asked for a cigarette, and I replied resolutely.
• He denied himself everything to buy a dog, then changed his mind and gulled in a restaurant for the money.
• The hero of the film “Born on the Fourth of July” lost his legs due to injury, and he was disappointed in life.
• My uncle had the most honest rules and therefore refused me all his 20 million dollars!
• Refusal of excesses leads to inner harmony.

If the reader suddenly doubts the legitimacy of the use of the verb “refused” in the meaning “bequeathed” (you never know, anything can happen), then we assure him: such a meaning exists. Actually, we wrote about this above. It is worth looking at the verb "refuse" and its fourth meaning in the explanatory dictionary. Yes, it is outdated, but not gone. And do not believe those who will say otherwise.

In the sentence under number two, the verb was used, so we decided to compose another one, in which there would be a noun “refusal”, this is more suitable. We hope the reader is not angry with us, for excess is not a flaw.

Synonyms

We continue our linguistic journey. And it is still far from complete. You can relate to synonyms as you like, but you can not deny the realities of the Russian language, which for the latter synonymy is a characteristic feature. Therefore, we will not shy away from fulfilling a duty and provide the reader with replacements for the object of study. Failure is not the most pleasant word, but it also has allies and friends. Let's look at the list:

• pass;
• boycott;
• negation;
• deviation;
• disagreement.

The rest of the replacements offered by the dictionary did not inspire our confidence, therefore we did not include them in the list.

Subtleties of the meaning of the noun "pass"

The presence of the word “pass” in the list must also be explained. There is a pass that is used in a card game, but there are those that are needed in sports. And these nouns are homonyms. You must have heard this phrase many times: "No, guys, I pass." This does not mean that the person decided to make a mounted transfer into the penalty area, and there the attacker will definitely respond to it. You can go on the other hand: what does failure mean? You can determine the object of study through the noun "pass". By the way, when it comes to the card table and green cloth, the word “pass” rapidly acquires a figurative meaning.

Signs of failure

Everything is clear now with the meaning of the word "denial." Another thing is interesting: how to recognize a failure? After all, we do not always understand when we are being sewn up, and it doesn’t matter what we are talking about, be it another failure in love or finding a job. Do you know, for example, that it is not customary for the Japanese to refuse directly, so as not to put the interlocutor in an uncomfortable position? How do they work? They ask clarifying questions, if the Japanese asks to reschedule time or to appoint another place, then this should be understood as a refusal, the significance of which depends on the situation. Why are we telling this? Moreover, not only the Japanese are doing this. If a person doesn’t agree to any of your offers at once, then most likely he doesn’t want or is uncomfortable, in other words, one way or another, but there will be no deal (whatever this is understood). And now two classic examples:

• When a girl constantly reschedules a meeting, then she most likely does not want a date.
• When the employer says that he will call you back, then you can safely go to another interview.

The question of why not refuse immediately, hangs in the air and quickly rises to the sky, moving into the category of the eternal, that is, no one will ever answer it, but, we think, the reasons for such behavior should be sought in the ideology of universal tolerance and fear of offending. But do banal moves insult human intelligence no more than direct rejection? You can think about this.
