There is a belief that the Russian national character is woven from contradictions. On the one hand, a Russian person is very lazy, and on the other hand, he is capable of extra effort when necessary. Therefore, we know the adverb "dramatically" as well as possible. This is the pattern of behavior that we understand well. Let's talk today about the benefits and harms of sudden movements for life.
Meaning and origin
As you can see, the word came to us from French at the end of the 19th century. And it got into French from Latin, where cardinalis is “main” or “main”.
The adverb has only one meaning, namely “radically, completely”. For example, you can hear the following phrase quite often: "He solved the problem dramatically." Let's say a young man wants to learn how to cook like a real chef. His mother told him all the time that he could follow her and thus delve into the process of cooking. But he solved the problem radically - this means that he went toculinary courses, where they will definitely teach him how to cook, but he did not study with his mother, he did not have enough desire.
That is, when it comes to something cardinal, you should expect a drastic change. For example, a person was a communist, but then became a believer. And just as he passionately did not believe before, so now he devoutly believes in the existence of God and all Christian miracles. This means that the person has radically revised his views.
Synonyms
To consolidate the success, as always, let's see what can replace the object of study. So here is the list:
- absolutely;
- irrevocably;
- finally;
- full;
- radical;
- sharply;
- essential;
- whole.
It cannot be said that the word "dramatically" is one that cannot be replaced. The list proves that in this case such a statement cannot be made. Although in Russian there are irreplaceable definitions. Do you want an example? "Smile" is a noun that has no full-fledged analogues in the language.
Adverb and problem solving
People are not always inclined to slash and solve problems radically, this is understandable, but still, when this happens, it means there is no turning back. Let's imagine two situations. In the first one, the girl does not know what to wear on her next date and, in desperation, burns her entire wardrobe. And let the reader decide for himself what he likes best: a fire that engulfed the whole house, or a quiet, peaceful fire in the yard.
The advantage of such an act is obvious - no more need to be tormenteddoubts. But there are much more disadvantages: there is nothing to wear in principle, the cost of new clothes, even if we assume that the girl is we althy and not constrained in funds, again, time for shopping.
Hence the moral conclusion: the worst thing about a radical solution to any problem is irreversibility. But sometimes the contradictions are insoluble, and the nerves are on edge, so it seems that there is simply no other way out.
The second situation does not affect material, but psychological reality. Imagine a married couple. People once loved each other, but now mutual understanding has disappeared. Let's say that all therapists have been completed, trainings and conversations have not brought any result. There is only one way left - to disperse. They do. No one has a conscience, because sometimes a breakup is better.
We gave two examples. In the first, sudden movements are recklessness, and in the second, the only means of salvation.
Five films about radical decisions
After a good job, you can also have a good rest, so we present to the reader five films that will help him better understand the meaning of the word "dramatically".
- Enough is Enough (1993).
- Enough is Enough (2002).
- Forest Gump (1994).
- "Until the Box" (2007).
- As Good As It Gets (1997).
It would be possible to end here, but in the end, let's say that all the films on the list have a common feature: the characters in them either themselves are experiencing drastic external changes,or the world is changing in a completely unimaginable way, that is, radically. Synonyms, of course, could be replaced by the last adjective, which already flashed too often today. But we still hope that it does not spoil the overall impression of the films.
