To the credit of many visitors to Internet sites, they are interested not only in the personal lives of movie stars, but also in literacy issues. "How to write:" come "or" come "?" - This is a question that is often asked by users of the World Wide Web. Let's try to figure it out.
What are we arguing about?
From the point of view of elementary logic, there are no problems in solving this issue. Both of these words are verbs in indefinite form (infinitive), because they answer the question: “What to do?” The infinitive is exactly what the verb in the dictionary defines. So what is easier? Open the dictionary, and check: come or come?
All modern dictionaries are unanimous: the "come" option is correct. But for some reason, doubt arose, and it is this verb that causes fierce debate?
Turn to the classics. The play by A. Pushkin “The Stone Guest”, 1948 edition: “Ask the statue to come to Don Anna tomorrow evening and stand at the door on the clock.” What is it? The luminary of Russian poetry did not know the spelling of the word “come”, and the Soviet proofreaders, known for their meticulousness, did not correct the text before printing?
Leo Tolstoy: “We need to get into the state of a child” (from thoughts about religion). “You see, I came, therefore, I could come” (from private correspondence). These texts were also published in the Soviet years. Is it really a mistake?
We listen to experts
There is no mistake. For many years, the choice between the words “come” or “come” did not have the current unambiguity, and the second option was even more preferable.
Turning to the luminaries of the Russian language, living in the past centuries, you can see the following. There is really no dilemma in Vladimir Dahl’s dictionary: come or come? As written in the publication, both options are correct. In the explanatory dictionary of Efremova and in the spelling Ozhegova there is only the verb "come". In Ushakov we find the same option as the main one, but the words “come” and “come” are also considered acceptable. As for the conjugations of this verb, along with the modern “come, you come” are allowed - marked “obsolete” - and the options “come, come”.
Such a discrepancy in spelling can be explained only by the special variety of forms of the Russian language and the traditions existing in it. A large number of those interested in the problem are connected with this: how is it right to come or come? Faced in old books or other sources with the option to come, many still consider it true.
Hitrim?
Someone, in order not to rack their brains over writing, suggests simply replacing the controversial verbs with their synonyms: come, come, come. But, of course, such a recommendation can only be regarded as comic. Any word carries its own semantic load, and replacing it with a synonym may be either generally inappropriate or indigestible due to a number of ideas. We can say “come to a consensus”, but we will never use the verb “arrive” in this situation. In principle, in the expression “go on a date”, this alternative option can be used, and the meaning of what has been said will not be affected. But I would like to see the reaction of a young girl whose lover (especially if he is not a military man) would say that he asks her to come on a date ...
And if so?
Even the use of the closest in meaning infinitive “come” will not save the situation. To come is a perfect form of the verb that indicates a specific result of the action: to regain consciousness, to come to a halt. And coming is an imperfect view; it does not imply the obligatory obtaining of a result. To come to a stop does not mean to be there, to regain consciousness - it is not necessary to wake up.
Maybe not worth the trick? Isn't it better to just remember how to spell it? To come, according to the rules adopted in 1956, is the only acceptable option at the moment,
The population is against!
It is interesting that even a concrete answer to this question does not save us from new doubts and even objections. Why, of the two options — come or come — is the first one chosen? In addition, there is a similar verb without a prefix - “go”, but the words “go” or “go” do not exist in Russian. There is a “d” in other forms: I will come, they will come. Where is the logic in choosing the "come" infinitive?
Many pay attention to the pronunciation of this word. In colloquial speech, the sound of “th” is usually lost, most often “come” is heard - why not make the writing form as well?
Some Internet users, not understanding the logic of choice, even consider the option to “come” as a typical tyranny of some official from the institution that adopted these rules. Who knows, maybe so. This version is all the more interesting if you look at the year the rules come into force. 1956: N. Khrushchev leads the country. How many different voluntaristic decisions were made in those years?
And philologists - for!
The choice of the “come” form is debatable not only for amateurs, but also for a number of qualified specialists. Nevertheless, some philologists consider this decision quite justified. With reference to Kozma Prutkov ("Look at the root!"), A specialist on the Internet simply offers a detailed analysis of these words. In the infinitive "come" and in its various word forms (go, go, go, etc.), it is very difficult to identify the root. The common significant part can be considered only “and”, which can also be omitted (walked, walked away) or go into “th” (go, walk away). For the Old Slavonic language, to which the verb "go" belongs, a similar state of affairs is not uncommon. Parsing the word “go” will give us the root “and”, the infix “d”, the verb suffix “tee”. From this point of view, the “come” option is quite logical: “when” is the prefix, “th” is the root and the same suffix.
Will such an answer suit everyone? Even its author, trying to tell and prove how to write “come” correctly, how to parse other word forms of this verb, still does not forget to refer to complex language processes and their difficult to explain results. Maybe this is just the point?
About Russian language
Web users, in the context of the dispute “come” or “come”, the spelling of many other words was also questioned. Why, for example, do we write “Bolshevik” and at the same time “stupid”, “kulak” if, according to the logic of things, all 3 words should have the same suffix? They try to object to the author of the question. Like, the variant "Bolshevik" is formed from "Bolshevism", and not from "Bolshevik", and therefore it is not written through "c" as "kulak". But such an answer is not very convincing, because the word "Bolshevik", although it is present in dictionaries, is usually not used in practice. Whatever formative noun is discussed, the second option is usually used as an adjective.
The word "Bolshevik" and everything connected with it are no longer relevant, and you can not puzzle over their spelling. But how many other words in Russian, the spelling of which makes you think thoroughly!
How to write: “victory” or “victory”? - comrades are interested. But no way! There are no such words! There is simply no form for the verb “win” in the 1st person singular of the future tense. Quite suitable options are “I can win,” “I can win.”
“Do not lay the mirror on the desk” - a classic version of the mistake that caused conflict in the wonderful film “Let's Live Until Monday”. Two common misunderstandings: "to lay down" and "succumb." It is important to remember: the verb "to lay down" without prefixes does not exist. The correct option is to put. The same verb, in turn, is also not used with prefixes; here only the words “put”, “invest”, etc. can be true.
How to form the imperative of the verb "to go"? Well, certainly not “go” or “go!” “Go,” “come,” “come,” - these are suitable options.
About borrowed words
If it is sometimes so difficult to determine the spelling of Russian words, then what about foreign terms? Refusing to use them, as suggested by individual zealous heads, is not worth it - it's more expensive for yourself! Which is easier: say “air conditioning” or come up with some new definition like “air-cleaner-cooler”? Somehow too complicated!
So you just need to remember. For example, your favorite coffee is espresso, not expresso; the fast train and the drink have different spellings.
About Lenin's covenants
"Study, study and study again!" - Ulyanov-Lenin once called, and it is really worth agreeing with this covenant of the chief Bolshevik. Studying is the only option to make your writing and speech more or less literate. Wherever it turns out, you need to get to the bottom of the matter. Where it doesn’t work out - just remember. Learn grammar, finally browse the dictionaries.
On the Internet, sometimes they are also interested in derivatives of the verbs we are analyzing. They ask how it is written: “came” or “came”? It’s awkward to answer this question somehow - the situation is thoroughly understood in school lessons. Well, of course, come! The letter “o” after hissing is still possible in the case of a few nouns (seam, burn), but in the case of verb endings it cannot be. Here you don’t even need to break your head over spelling; just pick up a textbook and learn the rules.
What for?
But how important is writing correctly? After all, entire nations and generations did without a letter, and nothing! Communication on the Internet now reveals blatant illiteracy, but this does not prevent people from talking and finding a common language. And if they don’t find it, it’s because of political or other discrepancies, but by no means because of errors in the letter.
To some extent, talking about the need to express your thoughts beautifully and without mistakes is meaningless. Anyone who feels the need to be literate is looking for any opportunity to improve their knowledge and replenish the vocabulary. To whom the presence of errors and the wretched syllable do not interfere with living in the world, he will continue to live without heeding any admonitions.
It’s just ... For educated people, mistakes in someone else’s writing extremely hurt the eyes, and immediately respect for their author is lost. Someone compares an illiterate text with the dirty neck of its owner, for some spelling mistakes are akin to stains on clothes. Does anyone really want to be known as a slut in the eyes of others?
