<P>Before I study English seriously, I never think about the nuance between the words.</P>
<P>When I study English vocaburary, just memorized the meaning of the words and if there are the specific words </P>
<P>containing similar meaning , I just considered there are snonyms each other.</P>
<P>but these days As I'm getting more interest for learing and speaking English. regarding this, nuance is the essential factors I have to exactly know and check.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>One example :</P>
<P>Last week's English study I learned one expression‎ and the way of making sentence about the feeling when it's raining</P>
<P>A couple of people feel rainy day makes them blue, depressed, or gloomy</P>
<P>That expressions seem same , but exactly not does.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>My native English teacher said 'blue' is a sort of cute expression‎ , it can be used when the situation isn't serious.</P>
<P>but the depressed or gloomy would use when the situation is more serious and worrying.</P>
<P> </P>
<P> </P>
<P> </P>
<P> </P>

첫댓글I think depressed is a clinical psychology term like bi-polar depression or melancholy; colors along with their meanings have gradations such as blue, gray, black, dark, etc.; gloomy, bleak, morbid, lugubrious seem related to death; and then there are literary words like morose, woeful, etc., which make you sound well-read and smart. Nuance is a nuisance, but is vital to understand if you want to have a deeper level of conversation.
