The Russian language has a huge number of words. And therefore, even those who get to know them from birth, it is impossible to remember the interpretation of each. This is not to mention spelling, synonyms, antonyms and other nuances. However, it’s never too late to cultivate. Therefore, we propose to study the features of the word "skillful". What does it mean, to which part of speech does it belong, possible errors and synonyms - more on this later.
Value
To begin with, the word under study is considered an adjective. Because it answers the question: "which?" It has two meanings. The first describes animate beings. In this case, it is mainly a man. For example: a skilled craftsman, a skilled tailor, a skilled cook. That is, in this case, the studied name of the adjective characterizes the person as one who knows his job well.
Based on the first value, it is not difficult to guess the second. It describes an inanimate object. In other words, what the aforementioned person does. For example: skillful work, skillful dance, skillful combination. That is, the studied name adjective indicates: something is done very well, expertly.
Now you know what "skillful" means. But what difficulties does this word cause?
Possible mistakes
Everyone knows that a great many Russian-language words are written differently than they are pronounced. The studied adjective name also causes many difficulties. Consider the transcription: [skilful ']. Everything seems to be similar to spelling. However, many people write the letter "z" in place of "c" in the first case, two "c" in the second case and the combination "cn" are separated by the letter "t".
The reason for the first error is that sometimes a sound is heard during pronunciation [h]. As a result, many are confused. The second mistake arises because some people confuse the word under study with a similar one. In the noun "art" you really need to write two "ss". But it is not the same as being studied. The second mistake is exactly the same. People believe that the "skillful" comes from the "artificial." But this is also a false judgment.
In fact, the adjective is etymologically related to the old Russian noun "art" and later - "temptation". However, the word under study is a dictionary. That is, its spelling must be remembered.
Synonyms
So, we figured out what “skillful” means. But if you forget the correct spelling, you can use words that are close in meaning. They are:
- workshop;
- skillful;
- untrained;
- filigree.
However, it is important to select them according to context. To prevent distortion of the meaning of the sentence or the entire text.
