Correct writing in a letter is the key to a clear and understandable presentation of thoughts, this is the best way to convey your opinions to the reader or opponent. You must be able to write correctly and without errors. There are a number of words whose spelling raises questions - mattress or mattress, win or win, beets or beets, and so on. And such words require a competent approach and consideration.
Backstory
Very often in a letter we at one fine moment look at a word familiar to us and do not remember how to write it correctly. We think this has happened to everyone at least once. Usually this happens with simple words, but the spelling of which is difficult to explain without understanding, we just remember them over time and write them correctly on the machine. And at least once while writing this word, we will turn our attention to it and think - how is it spelled? How did we write it before? The funny thing is that we completely forget how we usually write a word. Many resort to such a method as re-writing. That is, they simply write this word several times until they are sure of its spelling. to someonethis helps, but it usually makes the spelling more doubtful.
At such moments, we sit with a smart look and try to remember how to write correctly. Using the example of the question of how to spell win or win, let's talk about this topic. And here only one thing can help us - knowledge of spelling rules. Scientists have proven that if we write words correctly due to a large vocabulary, but at the same time we do not know the spelling rules for sure, then it is easier for us to doubt, to question the spelling of a word. So we got it right? You just need to memorize the rules, but now let's move on to our problem.
Which is right - win or win?
In order to deal with this problem, you need to make out the word from which it came, and what it means. There are several ways to do this. Starting with the selection of test words and up to morphemic analysis. It makes no sense to torment you, it is worth saying right away that it is spelled correctly to win, and later in the article it will be explained why it is written that way.
Initially, we will conduct a morphemic analysis, you need to know the parsing plan:
- Determine the part of speech.
- Indicate the end of the word (if any).
- Select base.
- Through a series of single-root words, find the root of the word, note the alternation of sounds.
- Install the prefix or prefixes.
- Set suffix or suffixes.
After all thiswe can find a word from which it is formed to win. We discard "you", since this is a prefix, we send "t" there, because this is the ending. We are left with only the basic "game". Everything, now knowing the word from which it is formed, we can check the spelling. There is another way. Let's make a number of words synonyms and even antonyms. Synonyms are words that are similar in meaning but differ in spelling. The first word is to win, that is, to gain the upper hand, a victory over the opponent. As we can see, this word does not suit us. What does it mean to win anyway? To win has two meanings, in the first it is to get some benefit, and in the second meaning to defeat someone. If synonyms do not suit us, then we turn to antonyms. The antonym of the word win, win is lose. And in the word win and lose - the same root - the game. In two different ways we arrived at the word game, it's safe to say that win is spelled with "and" since the word game is spelled with that letter.
Why do people make mistakes?
When pronouncing the word win, we pronounce "win", from here there are doubts about the correct spelling, "and" or "th", in the letter we first of all try to check the spelling using pronunciation - this is the main mistake, the pronunciation is even more confusing. Interestingly, two types of people are susceptible to this, those who know a lot and those who have a meager stock of knowledge. Why exactly? Now let's explain. The human brain is arranged in such a way that with a large number we begin to check forthe reliability of previously acquired knowledge, he tries to find an explanation for everything he sees and hears. Accordingly, seeing an old word, a thought slips through, and why it is written or heard that way. The brain begins to delve into our memory, but it does not have a complete answer, and it begins to doubt the spelling.
Only by knowing the rules do we suppress this doubt, and it will not arise again in the future. In the case of people with a small stock of rules and knowledge, it is still easier. Their brains take two paths when writing words. Either he is 100 percent sure that the spelling is correct, although there is no reason for this, or he begins to doubt every more or less complex word. Of course, all this is very subjective, but the very fact that people with very high and very low knowledge are so mistaken has been officially established by scientists for a long time. By the way, this applies to any field of knowledge, and not just the correct spelling of words.
Etymology
It was from the word that the game was formed to win. The game is a recreational activity. Game is an Old Slavonic word, and was originally written as jgrati, but pronounced as "play". Accordingly, as already mentioned, it is the letter "and" that is written.
Conclusion
Here we come to the end, now you know exactly how to write - win or win. Now you know that in such situations, you should not try to determine how to spell a word using pronunciation. Derived from the word game, in which the first letter is "i", and not"y", you also need to write through "and" to win. Such words can always be checked according to the rules both with the help of test words, and by making a morphemic analysis and determining the word from which it is formed. Good luck writing!
