Kindly - this is what? "Courtesy", "Milo" and politeness

Here and there you can hear: "He was so nice to me, even strangely, I heard a lot of bad things about him." A person who does not know, and kindly - is that, will ask himself: "Is the other one with the woman nice or rude?". Today we will understand the meaning of the words "gracious" and "kindly", because one can not be considered without the other.

Meaning

At once we will say that the word is good. And the meanings of the adverb and the adjective echo. Therefore, first consider the second, then the first, and then move on to a more general concept of courtesy in principle. So, the meanings of the adjective "amiable":

• So used to be called "lover." Now it would look ironic and a bit ridiculous.
• Polite, gallant, courteous. To clarify this value, it will take a little more than one phrase, so we'll talk about it separately when we consider politeness.
• Sweetheart, dear. Despite the fact that the third value echoes and resembles the first, it is not considered obsolete and is quite in demand.
• A familiar appeal to someone. For example: "You know what, my dear, you do not powder my brains! I saw with my own eyes how you put a cigarette-case in your pocket! ". It's easy to understand that this is almost a curse.

An adverb "kindly" may have the same meaning. And if we are talking about evaluating someone's actions, then the meaning is "nice", "polite" is a positive evaluation.

For example:

- Our boy today for the first time showed adulthood and gave way to grandmother in public transport.

- ABOUT! Very kind of him. He's just fine!

In this situation, "courtesy" approaches the meaning with "cute", given the context of the situation: grandmother, child, two women, all are touched.

The emotional range of adverbs is "cute" and "kindly"

In the previous section it was said that adverbs caught in the title can be used as synonyms, and this is true, but not always. Much depends on the language situation. Compare.

One situation. When the son-in-law makes a nice mother-in-law or wife pleasant, and she tells her mother, then in response, you can hear: "Oh, how kind it is from his side!" In this case, the adverbs are interchangeable, and if put "cute", nothing will change.

Another situation. The wife informs her husband that his colleague gave her a place in the car, which took them home. The husband will respond: "It is very kind of him." Here it would be "nice" to sound false and inappropriate, because the husband does not know the colleague and he does not care, the main thing is that the wife came home a little earlier. In addition, if the spouse is suspicious, then the thought will come to his mind: "Does a colleague want to priudarit for his wife?" What kind of mercy.

Thus, it turns out: "courtesy" is a neutral word, which can express the courtesy of duty when nothing special needs to be said, but it is necessary.

One of the readers may disagree with this message. Everyone here creates their own set of preferences. And this applies not only to writers of science and art, but also to ordinary speakers of the language, unless, of course, the latter are sufficiently literate to give their definition, which begins with the words "courtesy is ..."

Politeness

Let the reader not worry, there will not be a treatise on morality, but it's strange to talk about courtesy and not say anything about a more general notion of where it goes. A man is brought up from an early age so that he knows the difference between good and bad behavior. When he behaves well - he is encouraged, for example, by the word "kindly". This is a form of approval that a person behaves in accordance with public expectations and requirements. The politeness has only one problem - it is relative.

If, for example, in Germany a Russian tourist concedes to an elderly German woman a seat on the bus, she will look at him as if he humiliated her. But in fact it is from the point of view of foreign morality. His act showed a Russian German disrespect, felt that she was weak and weak, and this is an insult.

We hope now it is clear, kindly - it's like? Armed with this knowledge, the reader can be completely free to be gallant.
