Today we will talk about the pleasant. Everyone knows that there is politeness, and there is sophistication. People love the last word for sound, but do they understand its meaning well? We will use the explanatory dictionary and dispel doubts. In other words, the adjective "refined" is our object of study.
Value
To know manners well, you need to be brought up in a certain environment. Parenting is what is immediately visible. Someone attaches great importance to conventions, someone less. But everyone agrees that a person should be able to behave at the table, be polite to people. But the adjectives "courteous" and "refined" - this is the next stage of development. Not everyone gets to it. Moreover, there are people who are politely familiar with hats. Okay, let’s leave it and move on to the value of the object of study. The explanatory dictionary, as always, is so amiable that it does not hide anything from us and states the following: "Refined, elegant." Sometimes this happens with a smart book - it gives definitions that do not help much. We also turn to other adjectives:
- Refined is "well, finely developed, refined."
- Graceful is "distinguished by grace."
This time the dictionary is somehow intractable and asks us riddles. We'll have to use the illustrations from the films to make the meaning of the word “exquisite” clear.
Hugh Jackman and Adriano Celentano
Of course, it does not occur to us to compare the characters of Celentano and the hero of Jackman of recent times - Wolverine. We want to remind the reader of the earlier work of the Australian actor in the movie “Kate and Leo” (2001). After all, Kate conquered a man from the past precisely by his courtesy. But the thing is that in his time, such an attitude towards women was not something out of the ordinary. For him, this is a common occurrence. And women of our time have already begun to wean from the gallantry of gentlemen, moreover, people sometimes confuse politeness and flirtation. Summing up, it should be said that if you need that ideal, which would serve as an illustration for the adjective "refined", this is Leo, anyway.
It is easy to understand that the characters of Adriano Celentano create contrast in this pair. Although they are polite, that is, they know the elementary standards of decency, but they can not be called refined. But a woman in a man can be attracted by different traits. Someone may not need Leo's courtesy, but the snappiness and impetuosity of Barnaba - the hero of the movie “Madly in Love” (1981).
In other words, to be refined is not a panacea or a universal recipe for conquering female hearts. Here, as they say, you need to profess an individual approach.
