If a person has set himself the goal of becoming perfection, to achieve what is desired at all costs, it is better to get out of his way. For such persons throughout history there were many definitions, but the most striking option is the "pretentious." The term flowery, easily describes both the concepts of a legal property, and character traits, the most obvious manifestations of personality.
Where was the aspiration born?
Many beautiful words in the Russian language "migrated" from France. In this case, we are talking about pretentieux, which with equal success can be decrypted in two ways:
Suitable for cases when a certain object has become the center of your attention and now you are trying to achieve it with all your might. From here came the very first and to this day actual value. “Pretentious” is all that is related to the statement of claim, its essence, justification and evidence base. Not a single court session is held without discussing the claims of the parties.
The second interpretation works at the household level. If the neighbors are trying to divide a piece of country land between the plots, are struggling to choose a paint color for the general fence or argue about livestock walking, the term fits perfectly. It acquires "pretentious" significance only in those cases when a person is not shy about implementing the deepest movements of the soul. Feel free to go to the goal, to rise above others.
What is the main definition?
Contemporaries try to stay away from judges with lawyers. Therefore, the book derogatory value comes to the fore. It splits into several synonyms at once:
- sophisticated;
- mannered;
- artsy.
If a person has achieved small or just wants to inflate his significance in the eyes of the interlocutor, this is a pretentious person. She wants to be original, so be sure to recognize it. Super expensive smartphone, branded items and a car on credit, even if he lives in a rented apartment and eats custard noodles every other day? Easy! The main thing is that friends and colleagues see the advertising facade, the bosses are imbued with respect, and potential lovers aspirated for attention.
How good is the quality?
Everyone can deliberately color the shell to hide a spiritual void. But when the rainbow soap bubble bursts, nothing remains. That’s why “pretentious” is a real insult, the path is not abuse. With this word they accuse of bragging, overly focusing attention on one's own person, unwillingness to listen to loved ones and unsightly attempts to win a place under the sun not in real merit, but in a puffy way.
