Today we will talk about pleasant things. Everyone knows that there is politeness, and there is sophistication. People love the last word for its sound, but how well do they understand its meaning? Let's use an explanatory dictionary and dispel doubts. In other words, the adjective "exquisite" is our object of study.
Meaning
To know manners well, you need to be brought up in a certain environment. Education is something that is immediately visible. Someone attaches great importance to conventions, someone - less. But everyone agrees that a person should be able to behave at the table, be polite with people. But the adjectives "courteous" and "refined" - this is the next stage of development. Not everyone gets to it. Moreover, there are people who are politely familiar with a hat. Okay, let's leave it and move on to the meaning of the object of study. The explanatory dictionary, as always, is so kind that it does not hide anything from us and states the following: "Refined, elegant." Sometimes this happens with a smart book - he gives definitions that are not very helpful. Let's also turn to other adjectives:
- Refined is "well, finely developed, refined."
- Sleek means "feeling graceful".
This time the dictionary is somehow intractable and asks us riddles. We'll have to use illustrations from the movies to understand the meaning of the word "exquisite".
Hugh Jackman and Adriano Celentano
Of course, it would not occur to us to compare the characters of Celentano and Jackman's hero of the last time - Wolverine. We want to remind the reader of the Australian actor's earlier work in Kate & Leo (2001). After all, Kate was conquered by a man from the past with courtesy. But the thing is that in his time such an attitude towards women was not something out of the ordinary. For him, this is a common occurrence. And women of our time have already begun to wean themselves from the gallantry of gentlemen, moreover, people sometimes confuse politeness and flirting. To sum up, if you want that ideal that would serve as an illustration for the adjective "exquisite", it's Leo, whatever one may say.
It is easy to understand that the characters of Adriano Celentano create a contrast in this pair. Although they are polite, that is, they are familiar with the elementary norms of decency, they cannot be called refined. But a woman in a man can be attracted to different features. Someone, perhaps, does not need the courtesy of Leo, but the impetuousness and impetuosity of Barnaba - the hero of the film "Madly in Love" (1981).
In other words, being sophisticated is not a panacea or a universal recipe for conquering women's hearts. Here, as they say,practice a personal touch.
