Here and there you can hear: "He was so kind to me, even strange, I heard a lot of bad things about him." A man who does not know, but kindly - is that, he will ask himself: "Was the other nice or rude with the woman?" Today we will understand the meaning of the words “amiable” and “amiable”, because one cannot be considered without the other.
Meaning
Just say that the word is good. And the meanings of the adverb and the adjective have something in common. Therefore, we first consider the second, then the first, and then move on to the more general concept of politeness in principle. So, the meanings of the adjective "amiable":
- That’s what they used to call a "lover." Now it would look ironic and a little funny.
- Polite, gallant, courteous. To clarify this meaning, it will take a little more than one phrase, so we will talk about it separately when we consider politeness.
- Dear, dear. Despite the fact that the third value has something in common and resembles the first, it is not considered obsolete and quite in demand.
- Familiar appeal to someone. For example: “You know, dear, you don’t powder my brains! “I saw with your own eyes how you put a cigarette case in your pocket!” It is easy to understand that this is almost a curse.
The adverb “kindly” may have the same meaning. And if we are talking about evaluating someone’s actions, then the meaning is “cute”, “politely” - a positive assessment.
For instance:
- Our boy today showed his first adulthood and gave way to his grandmother in public transport.
- ABOUT! Very kind of him. He's just great!
In this situation, “kindly” approaches meaningfully with “cute,” given the context of the situation: a grandmother, a child, two women, everyone is moved.
The emotional range of adverbs is “cute” and “kindly”
In the previous section, it was said that the dialects in the title can be used as synonyms, and this is true, but not always. Much depends on the language situation. Compare.
One situation. When the son-in-law makes his mother-in-law or wife pleasantly, and she tells her mother, then in response you can hear: “Ah, how kind of him!” In this case, the adverbs are interchangeable, and if you put "cute", nothing will change.
Another situation. The wife tells her husband that a colleague gave her a place in the car that drove them home. The husband responds: "It is very kind of him." It would have been “cute” to sound false and inappropriate, because the husband does not know the colleague and he does not care, the main thing is that the wife arrived home a little earlier. In addition, if the spouse is suspicious, then the thought will come to his head: “Does the colleague want to hit on the wife?” What a favor.
Thus, it turns out: “kindly” is a neutral word by which you can express duty politeness when you especially do not want to say anything, but you need to.
Some readers may not agree with this message. Here everyone creates their own set of preferences. Moreover, this applies not only to writers of science and art, but also to ordinary native speakers, unless, of course, the latter are literate enough to give their own definition, which begins with the words "kindly - this is ..."
Politeness
Let the reader not be worried, there will be no treatise on morality, but it is strange to talk about courtesy and not to say anything about the more general concept of where it enters. A person is brought up from an early age so that he knows the difference between good behavior and bad. When he behaves well, he is encouraged, for example, with the word "kindly." This is a form of approval that a person behaves in accordance with social expectations and requirements. Politeness has only one problem - it is relative.
If, for example, in Germany, a Russian tourist gives way to an elderly German woman on the bus, then she will look at him as if he had humiliated her. But this is so from the point of view of foreign morality. By his deed, the Russian showed disrespect to the German woman, felt that she was weak and weak, and this was an insult.
We hope now it’s clear, kindly - how is it? Armed with this knowledge, the reader can freely be gallant.
