An associate is a like-minded person. Meaning of the word and examples of use

An associate is a true friend, but also something more. We will understand today in the definitions, we will understand how the ally differs from each other.

Value

ally this

Now is the time when colleagues are in short supply, or perhaps people themselves have shredded, and they don’t want to follow them. In order to make real friends, you must have some idea that is generally valid for many, like revolutionaries for example. Yes, all of them are mostly Utopian, but they had more sympathizers. Especially, of course, in Che. His face looks fashionable on a T-shirt today. How many Che had those who were ready to die for him? This is a difficult question, let's first understand that there is an ally in terms of the Russian language. So, the explanatory dictionary says: "Companion is a reliable comrade."

Swap words

The value is not always clear the first time. In this case, it is worth replacing the object of study with words that are close in meaning. For instance:

  • comrade;
  • fellow soldier;
  • like-minded person;
  • associate;
  • brother in arms;
  • comrade;
  • an accomplice;
  • accomplice.

When you have analogues before your eyes, you can find out who is actually an ally. It is not so easy to formulate. By the very word, it is clear that a comrade is more than just a friend.

Friends are different. Spending time with some people is a friendly relationship. He can share something secret with others, but only his brother in arms will come to the rescue at any moment. With friends, there is sometimes no such confidence, although if the relationship is real, then, of course, this changes things.

Another important point regarding the ally. This is a relationship that is held together by common trials. For example, there are two people, and they have β€œfighting” memories. They do not have to visit hot spots, but something serious unites them. And they are 120 percent sure of each other.

People may not agree with friends on various ideological issues, but this does not apply to an ally β€” a comrade in arms. From this express analysis, we hope, the difference is clear between fellow friends and just buddies with whom sometimes have a good time.

Is it possible to get associates?

Yes, but under certain conditions:

  1. We need a suitable problematic, acute social situation.
  2. Courage is needed; cowards have no associates.
  3. Need a mind. If a person is not far off, then he is unlikely to have fans.
  4. A more or less clear plan is needed to improve the world.

If all these conditions are met, then the appearance of brothers in arms can not be avoided.

When there is nothing similar, then you can artificially create a crisis situation, as villains do, for example, and they have accomplices and accomplices (on the dark side this is a synonym for the word we are considering), but this is not the best method. Seriously, everyone can have associates. One thing to remember: an ally is more than a friend.
