Unpretentiousness is almost always considered a virtue. It’s good when a person or thing does not require so much attention to himself. Therefore, consideration of a related noun dialect also promises to be easy and enjoyable. It is difficult to say how unpretentious this can be done, but we will try to comply.
Value
To find out the meaning of the dialect, you need to turn to the adjective. At least that is what the explanatory dictionary insists on. Well, let's not argue with him. The values of the object of study are only two:
- Extremely modest in requirements.
- Simple, unpretentious.
If you enter someone’s house and see the Japanese-style interior — tatami-matted floors, there is no furniture except a guest table — you can comment on such a situation: “Yes, it's unpretentious.” True, there is some neglect in this. In fact, all the same, the intentional stylization of space cannot be considered unpretentious. Another thing is when modesty really feels modesty, that is, at home there is only the most necessary, without frills. Still similar conditions are called "Spartan". Here a compliment using an adverb is appropriate.
Synonyms
Analogs are important, especially when the word is not very simple. Our case is just like that. The list of replacements will make life easier for the reader if it becomes necessary to quickly find a synonym:
- simply;
- modestly;
- artlessly;
- unpretentious;
- unassumingly.
There are, of course, other replacements. But it seems to us that precisely the synonyms chosen for the word “unpretentious” are best suited.
Typical tourist and the pea princess
Remember the old tale "The Princess and the Pea", not the text of G.-X. Andersen, and the Soviet film of 1976, which was shot based on several works of the writer at once? Of course, the princess can only serve as an example to the topic of our conversation. But mentally imagine the face of a sleepy young girl and put next to her a typical tourist who loves to go out into the countryside, sing songs by the fire and, of course, sleep in a tent. And the latter, as you know, has to be broken down where necessary. Our tourism is different from American camping. And now, a lover of wild rest, not even himself, but his collective image, can serve as a symbol of the subject of our conversation.
