There are many subtleties in life. Let this simple thought be the prologue to our conversation. And today we are talking about the nuances - as you know, these are various details.
Value
Explanatory dictionary - a thing absolutely beautiful and irreplaceable, especially when you need to clarify one or another meaning of the word. The object of study is no exception, we will not rely on chance and subjective interpretation. Everything is almost scientific with us. Therefore, we responsibly declare that the nuance is “a shade, a barely noticeable transition in color, sound, and also generally a subtle difference in something”. By the way, this word came to us from French in the 19th century. In the language of Baudelaire and Hugo, the definition means the same as in Russian, “shade”.
The most interesting thing is that the noun rarely refers directly to color. We think that few people even think that it was originally about color. When talking about the nuances, they mean a variety of small, elusive details. For example, they take a person to work and outline the picture only in a general way, and when he asks about something specific, they say to him: “Well, these are the nuances, you’ll get comfortable along the way.” Then, of course, it turns out that the devil is hiding in these very details, but this is as always. Therefore, the nuances are extremely important.
Synonyms
To expand the vocabulary, and at the same time to clarify the meaning of the word "nuance", replacements will help. Consider the list, then comment:
- subtlety;
- detail;
- difference;
- feature.
The word is book, therefore there are not so many replacements, but they are. The object of study, no doubt, is good and beautiful, but if the situation is not conducive to such frills, it is better to replace it with something simpler and more common. Sometimes too beautiful is also bad.
Spelling and need for reading
We hope that the answer to the question of how the “nuance” is written will not surprise anyone, because, in fact, the definition is written that way. Usually the pseudo-rule “I hear and write” harms and gives rise to unimaginable and absurd mistakes, but in this case it will be invaluable because writing the studied noun is somehow impossible otherwise. Do not believe? Practice it. You can say “nuance” or even “nuance”. Yes, perhaps the last pronunciation is possible, but new is “new” in English. But this is not about novelty, but about researching the details of what is already available. In other words, the main thing here is to do without extra letters in the word when we speak out loud, and then, perhaps, this rule will work.
You can also try to compose and write a certain number of sentences with the noun “nuance”, this should help. It becomes familiar, and a person will firmly remember the correct spelling. In this sense, whatever one may say, it’s useful to read books. Anyone who reads, remembers the correct spelling of words and then rarely makes mistakes, even if he does not remember exactly one or another rule. True, such a principle is good for Russian spelling, but bad for Russian punctuation, here it is better not to rely on the internal feeling and voice, but to check yourself according to various reference books.
Attention to detail is the key to success.
Remember the wonderful movie “Forgotten Melody for the Flute” (1987)? There was the song “Farewell to the bureaucrat with the cabinet”, which was brilliantly performed by Valentin Gaft. And at its very end there is the phrase "victim of acceleration." Here we are victims of acceleration. Now the result was needed yesterday. Therefore, no one has time for anything. But such a drive, which suits us with reality, is only good when hunting for fleas. And, even despite supersonic speeds, a person is still not allowed to be careless. A special place in modernity is occupied by the detail. The nuance is what the class and level of performing skills clearly demonstrates, and it does not matter what the person is ultimately busy with: whether he plays football or controls the train. High professional distinguishes attention to detail. By the way, a rich vocabulary is also an important detail of any educated person, therefore it must be constantly replenished.
