There is no intention of teaching the reader to curse in some special way. On the contrary, we want to offer replacements for rude expressions and talk about the meaning of the word “back home”. And here it is interesting not so much the content of the word as its origin. How did it happen that such a wonderful definition appeared in Russian? Consider the meaning and origin, as well as make sentences.
History
There are two ways to find linguistic truth. If you go the same way, you can think for a long time, relying on your knowledge, what could be the meaning of a word. Another route is shorter - pick up an etymological dictionary. Let's do it to save time.
So, the meaning of the word “back home” appeared due to the merging into one word of such a phrase “in one’s home”, where “all” is “village”. That is, if translated, it turns out: "go to your village, home."
I must say that now they say this not only when a person goes directly home. He can go somewhere, meet a friend, they will talk and disperse each in his own direction, according to his own affairs. The last phrase can serve as a synonym for the meaning of the word “back home”.
Value
First you need to give the reader what has already flickered in the text, but so far there is no clear understanding of what it is. Put aside the etymological dictionary and pick up the sensible. For what? To find out the exact meaning of the word "back home": "Home, to yourself." The value has a note: "Conversational and ironic." Yes, if someone is interested in what part of the speech this is, then the dictionary says it is an adverb.
Examples of use
But the dictionary does not say that the adverb can express the speaker’s different emotional mood. A statement can be neutral or, conversely, negative. For instance:
- Nicholas met Paul. They talked. And everyone went home.
- Peter made an appointment with the girl. But when he appeared, she behaved rudely and invited him to go home.
- When Nikita was in front of the closed doors of the Philharmonic, he realized that he wasn’t getting to the concert and went home.
Three examples use an object of study to describe different emotional states. In the first sentence, the emotional background is neutral. In the second example, the state is agitated and aggressive, at least on the part of the girl. In the third - the hero is clearly disappointed. Therefore, we can say that the meaning of the word “back home” is multifaceted. The reader is free to experiment with him, especially since he has everything necessary for experiments.
