Let's consider the noun "permanence", this is our today's object of study. We will find out where he came from, his synonyms, antonyms, and also give an example.
Russian-French ties
It is impossible to overestimate the influence of the French language on Russian, because, as you know, the Russian nobility spoke Flaubert's language better than Pushkin's. Therefore, it is quite natural that many foreign words not only got into our language, but also remained in it. True, now the object of study can be found infrequently, the noun "permanence" is rather an element of ironic speech, although, perhaps, someone uses it in a direct, bookish sense. It means "permanent" in French.
Dictionary meaning and irony
The explanatory dictionary is sometimes mischievous and does not answer the question directly, but refers to other parts of speech. Our case is just like that. To understand that this is permanent, we need to open the page where the meaning of the adjective "permanent" is located. Let's do this and see the following meaning of the objectresearch: "Permanent, continuously ongoing." For example: "permanent degradation".
Of course, women are most familiar with the phrase "permanent makeup". You can use this example as an illustration.
In the beginning we said that the word is often ironic, how exactly? It's pretty easy to explain. In order for a phrase with a noun or adverb to acquire a comic sound, you just need to mix styles - high and low. Imagine a situation where one friend asks another: “Tell me, does Galina ever have her own money, or does she constantly borrow it?” She answers her: “No, this is her usual, permanent state. Loans are evil. Of course, one cannot argue with the last thesis. The reader can try to come up with other examples, turning off the internal censor will make it even funnier.
Synonyms
Sometimes words-replacing the object of research are practically not needed, because you can choose them yourself without any difficulty. But when the definition in question is of foreign origin, the task no longer looks so simple. But enough of the preface. The list of replacements is as follows:
- always;
- regular;
- permanent;
- continuous;
- chronic.
As you can see, here are synonyms for the adjective, but if the reader needs synonyms for the noun, then they are easy to get. True, not all list items turn into nouns, we will be left with only three concepts:
- common;
- permanence;
- continuity.
Now the reader has nothing to be offended for us. We have provided it with synonyms for both adjective and noun. Permanence is a concept that should not cause difficulties in interpretation and understanding.
Antonyms and traits
Antonyms, like synonyms, are easy to semantic comprehension, because we already have the main thing for this. First, consider lists, then an example with both antonyms and synonyms. The list is:
- fickle;
- temporary;
- intermittent.
By the way, from the above adjectives you can make nouns that will be antonyms for the word "permanence", it's quite easy to do. Another thing is that not all adjectives in the list will become full-fledged opposites of the object of study, because the concepts of “discontinuity” and “permanence” are suitable for our purposes, and from “temporality” it already breathes something philosophical, which means it is not so unambiguous. But the choice remains with the reader, our job is to provide him with material.
Yes, we promised to set an example. Let's take the usual phrase "good man", what does it mean? People around him believe that he shows the bright, better sides of the personality more often than he reveals the dark and evil. Perhaps a good person does not possess the latter at all, although this is difficult to imagine. In any case, permanent character traits are those that are constantly present in the personality. But since nothing is humanour hypothetical subject is not alien, he shows qualities objectionable to people extremely rarely, which means that they can be considered temporary. They may not find themselves for years unless the situation is right. We hope you understand what permanence is. Everything that is present in the world all the time falls into this sphere. And, despite the bookishness of the definition, it is used quite widely when the need arises.
Now the reader can include the meaning of the word "permanence" in his active vocabulary. Just a word of caution: use it carefully and competently to avoid embarrassment.
