Unpretentiousness is almost always considered a virtue. After all, it's good when a person or thing requires not so much attention to itself. Therefore, consideration of the adverb related to the noun also promises to be easy and pleasant. It's hard to say how unpretentious this will be, but we will try to match.
Meaning
To find out the meaning of an adverb, you need to refer to the adjective. At least, this is what the explanatory dictionary insists on. Well, let's not argue with him. The object of study has only two values:
- Extremely modest in demands.
- Simple, unpretentious.
If you enter someone's house and see a Japanese-style interior - tatami mats on the floor, no furniture other than a table for guests - you can comment on such an environment: "Yes, it's unpretentious." Indeed, there is some disregard for this. In fact, after all, the intentional stylization of space cannot be considered something unpretentious. Another thing is when the atmosphere really feelsmodesty, that is, at home there is only the most necessary, without frills. Still similar conditions are called "Spartan". Here a compliment using an adverb is appropriate.
Synonyms
Analogues are important, especially when the word is not very simple. Our case is just like that. The list of replacements will make life easier for the reader if the need arises to quickly find a synonym:
- simple;
- modestly;
- artless;
- simple;
- unassuming.
There are, of course, other substitutions. But it seems to us that the synonyms chosen for the word "unpretentiously" are best suited.
Typical tourist and the princess and the pea
Remember the old fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea", not the text of G.-H. Andersen, but the Soviet film of 1976, which was based on several of the writer's works at once? Of course, the princess can only serve as an anti-example to the topic of our conversation. But mentally imagine the face of a sleepy young girl and put next to her a typical tourist who loves to go out into the countryside, sing songs by the fire and, of course, sleep in a tent. And the latter, as you understand, has to be broken where necessary. Our tourism is different from American camping. And now a lover of wild recreation, not even himself, but his collective image, can serve as a symbol of the subject of our conversation.
