The most complete conviction in something can be expressed by different phrases. We offer to disassemble one of them. The focus of our attention is a steady speech turn "how to drink to give." The meaning of phraseology will be investigated by us with available examples.
Tradition of the Slavs
According to legend, the ancient Slavs could not refuse a person who asked for water to drink. People talking about a win-win affair use phraseology as an indicator of the extreme degree of faith that it will be so. And in the end, our studied expression how to understand? “How to drink” - phraseological unit, coming from the depth of centuries, the meaning of which will be discussed below.
“If one day a traveler on a winter night ...” (name of one of Italo Calvino’s novels)
We already realized that the ancient Slavs could get drunk without any problems. However, other nations did not lag behind them either. History says that few people could refuse a traveler in the water if he knocked on the door of the owners. Probably, our archaic ancestors understood: a person without life-giving moisture can survive much less than without food. Thus, not to drink is much more harmful than not to eat.
Typically, in the past no one was afraid to open the doors and welcome the wanderers. Now, when people have closed in their convenient and comfortable apartments, they have become richer in appearance, but poorer inwardly. The higher we rise in the technological sense, the lower we fall in the field of morality. Simply put, with every decade, the human heart is becoming ever more callous.
About modern suspicion and the inability to get drunk plenty - in the next section. We told everything we knew about the history of sustainable expression . We hope that this will help the reader, on occasion, to answer the question of how to explain “how to drink” (idiom).
Modern plumbing and the origin of phraseology
Even now, in the presence of a water supply system, to quench one's thirst does not seem to be such a big problem. True, now there is another difficulty in this regard: people have ceased to be sympathetic to each other and open doors. In addition, on-guard the citizens are intercoms and combination locks. In other words, it is not so easy to break into the water from the hands of a fellow man. In the villages it’s somehow easier, there are columns, of course, they may not work, but, in principle, everyone who wants to quench their thirst can completely cope with this task on their own. We pass to examples. They will help us clarify the expression "how to drink to give." The value of phraseology is still of great interest to us.
Teacher and students
There are teachers and teachers who are students and schoolchildren in nightmares.
One can easily imagine the dialogue of two students:
- No, Pyotr Semenovich will surely flood us all and will not blink an eye.
- Come on, we'll hand it over sooner or later!
- That's it, that's it, it's late. I heard from senior courses: he is just a beast.
- Well, someone hands him over.
- Of course, those who teach are graded.
- And we will.
- Oh, fill up, how to give a drink ...
The meaning of phraseology will be explained below.
Something like this usually happens.
If the reader allows a little morality, then the “monster” of the teacher seems only to negligent students and schoolchildren. Mentors are organized simply: they are pleased with the successes of children, and those who are not involved, they do not like. However, morality is enough. We pass to synonyms.
Foreign idiom and Russian phraseology
In English there is an idiomatic expression You bet. In direct translation, it means "you (you) can (those) put it on it." Of course, a good specialist will not convey the meaning in this way; he will say in Russian: “for sure”, “for sure”, “definitely”.
Thus, “You bet” is similar in meaning to the Russian verbal phrase “how to drink” (we analyze the meaning of phraseologism in great detail).
The informal nature of sustainable phrases
It remains only in a sense to warn the reader and say that the expression "how to drink" can not be spoken at an official meeting or in a circle of strangers. It is hard to imagine how one president of a great and powerful country addresses his colleague in this way.
There is another situation when a person turns to the wisdom of centuries and allows himself to operate with phrases of national origin - in a state of deep stress. Nervous tension rolls over, and we use what we are used to for a long time. Here, too, you need to look so that the environment is the closest, otherwise a person may not be properly understood.
Official or unofficial language of communication
Language is a repository of symbols, images and meanings. Often, just a word or expression can restore a whole tradition.
If people interact at the state level, then they are forced to use the official, clerical language, and it is colorless and tasteless. Whether business is everyday communication. Almost any daily speech of people is filled with idiomatic statements, proverbs, sayings. By the way, by the ability to own a linguistic heritage, one can judge the general cultural literacy of a person.
We hope that we not only were able to explain the expression “how to drink”, but also increased the level of speech awareness of the reader.
