We come across a rebuff. But this is not about armed or hand-to-hand resistance, although this happens, but rarely. Mostly people speak politely to each other, but stories happen when it is impossible to be silent. And then we remember (who knows) the word "rebuke", it happens almost automatically. To increase the number of people who remember this wonderful noun, we will talk about it.
Book but not outdated
The doubt stated in the subtitle can be visited by anyone who somehow encounters the object of study. But the unpopularity of the noun, or rather, its specificity, does not yet mean that it is outdated. The book is a definition, therefore, antiquity blows from it. But do not worry, many make such a mistake. We learn the meaning of the word “rebuke”: “Strict instruction, an answer containing a sharp rebuff to someone’s judgment, speech.”
And now we understand that our world is literally saturated with a rebuke. Swearing everywhere and everywhere: on the Internet, on the streets, on TV. Everywhere and everywhere emotional tension reigns. At the same time, our everyday life does not swing especially under these storms and storms. On certain public venues, we are ready to give a rebuke, and this is normal, because such behavior resembles a game with varying degrees of seriousness. But in everyday and real life, which, as a rule, does not concern the clarification of relations or ideological disputes, we prefer not to escalate the situation especially. In any case, the next time someone says harsh words to someone, the reader will know what to call this phenomenon. And we move on.
suggestions
Another very interesting question: how valid is the rebuke? But we understand that rudeness can be said in different ways. Sometimes the remarks, albeit in a harsh form, are true, but sometimes they offend you just like that. We will try to understand this issue using the example of sentences:
- For the fact that the student did not do his homework, he received from the teacher a deuce and a stern rebuke.
- The boss did not let the employee negligent, and he fell under the shelling of the chief’s rebuff.
- A rebuke is something that must be justified and justified, otherwise what is the point?
The last sentence expresses the essence of the phenomenon. There are many curses in the world, but for some reason some are called "insults", while others are called "rebuffs." Of course, someone can use these words as synonyms. But this is the lot of the side that is condemned. We recognize the justice of the commandment, and it will be deserved. Now let's see the replacement of the object of study.
Synonyms
As always in such cases, when the word is either incomprehensible or seems outdated, synonyms help us out. Let us not neglect their help. They always help us from the heart. So, let's see the list:
- answer;
- instruction;
- rebuttal;
- objection;
- fight back.
As we see, the dictionary of synonyms does not agree with the enrollment of the object of study in the category of insults. This means that this indirectly confirms our hypothesis: the rebuke is that which contains justice to one degree or another. In other words, exhortation cannot be market abuse. Let the reader remember this thought.
