People are often afraid to leave their comfort zone. After all, sitting in a comfortable chair, drinking tea with lemon for your favorite series is much more pleasant than chewing on granite of science or developing physically. And so, when a person decides to change, a friend can bless him with the phrase: "Come on, dare." "Is that what you just said?" - there will be an answer. In order not to get into an unpleasant situation due to ignorance, you need to periodically expand your vocabulary. Today we will talk about the meaning of the word “dare”.
A bit of history
Before you understand the meaning of a word, you need to find out its origin. “Dare” is an analogue of the ancient Greek θρασύς. Although the meaning in it is still laid down different. The Greeks interpret their word as "bold." At that time, these concepts were called a warrior who won more than one battle and showed courage on the battlefield. As we know, Greek has become the basis for many languages, including Polish. The word dziarski is analogous to the ancient concept. It translates as "decisive." Most likely, this word came to the Russian language. We have an analogue of the Polish word “daring”, and, probably, it was from him that the verb “dare” came. We use this concept so often that we don’t even think about meaning.
What does it mean
“Dare” is a concept that has the meaning “make up your mind, dare.” Such a parting word is usually given to the student by the parents when the son goes to the exam. Oddly enough, but this word has taken root in the vocabulary of both adults and children. What does the word “go for it” mean for a teenager? In principle, there is not much difference in concept. Children with this word usually admonish a friend who goes to a dangerous enterprise, in their opinion. For example, stealing apples in a neighboring garden. So the main function of the word is the wish of good luck in some kind of risky or complex action.
When used
We have given several examples of the use of the word above. But to understand the true meaning, two situations are not enough. What is daring? Let's understand the meaning of this concept for different segments of the population.
Wealthy people used to play big. Most often they have already seen life and know all its hardships. After all, before you build a profitable enterprise, most often you have to burn through more than once. What is daring for these people? This is to open another branch of the enterprise or to upgrade the plant. In general, this should be an action that colleagues would not dare to carry out, because they are not sure of success.
In less affluent sections of society, “dare” may sound when one friend tells the other that he is going to go to work in the capital. Few decide to leave their hometown, even if the living conditions in it are not encouraging, and there are no growth prospects at all.
Why do you need this word
True Russian words are not always enough to express your thoughts and feelings. And sometimes such concepts appear for which there is simply no designation in the native language. You see, it’s difficult to come up with a synonym for the word “dare”. It may be the words: “act” or “decide”, but the shade will not be the same. The word carries a bright emotional coloring, for which people love it so much. Sometimes in one word you can wish good luck, show the solemnity of the moment, or simply inspire achievement.
