If once a person was suggested something in a roundabout way, then be calm, he will answer the question, gradually, what kind of action is this. To exclude chance, we will talk today about a mysterious dialect.
Value, origin
Imagine that there is a certain thing that a person really wants. But a friend or an outsider convinces him that he does not need her at all. If this is a car, then the price or its expensive maintenance is used. If you buy a movie disc, it is reported that the actors there are so-so, it is poorly shot. It seems they don’t say directly: “Do not buy!” - but no one has any arguments for the same. This mode of action can be precisely defined by the adverb “gradually”, this is the true truth.
As always, we try to be evidence-based and cite the appropriate line from the explanatory dictionary as an authoritative opinion. He argues that the value of the object of study is "gradually, little by little." By the way, there is an interesting entry in the dictionary that the adverb is colloquial. Strange, in colloquial speech it is quite rare now.
It is also necessary to say about the origin, although the word does not hide its roots. It was born thanks to the pretext "from under" and the noun of the singular genitive "will". In the process of historical development in this union, the noun has lost "and." As a result, we have an adverb with an exquisite sound in our language. And yes, if translated from Russian into Russian, the word means "against the will." The historical significance and the contemporary coincide.
Synonyms
To consolidate success, you need analog words. Not always "gradually" is a suitable word, sometimes it needs to be replaced. The list of synonyms follows:
- gradually;
- imperceptibly;
- slowly
- implicitly;
- drop by drop;
- step by step.
As we see, that strategy, which is supposed to be the object of research, does not tolerate fuss, noise, and does not promise quick results. This is only for those who know that they have at least some time left. Such a cunning adverb “gradually”. These were replacement words. We move on.
When will partisan techniques come in handy?
Imagine this situation: parents do not want the child to go to the actors. And what is good in this profession? This is only millions of contracts in Hollywood, and in the Russian countryside, an actor in a theater and a novice history or literature teacher earn the same amount of money. We will not write here, for it is a little insulting and embarrassing for a state.
And how can parents act to influence their rebellious child? Of course, only implicitly, quietly, gradually (like this, no need to explain). Because if you start fixing open obstacles, then the child, on the contrary, will desire the profession even more. And if you tell him about the impoverished province and the absolute and complete hopelessness in the acting field, there, you see, the child will come to his senses and go, for example, to economists, accountants or lawyers. And Jack Nicholson will be forgotten in the role of Jack Torrens and the whole Stanley Kubrick. Another dream will drown in the cement of common sense. Only parents should not say that the stability for which they pray does not exist.
