There is a feeling that the meaning of the word “activity” includes many meanings. But the feeling is misleading. To prove the previous thesis, we will consider the meaning of the word, its synonyms and make sentences with it. We begin, as always, with the content of the concept.
Value
Why does it appear that the meaning of the word “activity” covers a huge number of meanings? Because the noun is often used by officials. And in general, this word is from an official language, the language of papers or, at worst, science. In psychology, there was (and is) a theory of activity, leading its “pedigree” from Marxism. But now we will not plunge into it, but only say that in our country the meaning of the word “activity” is not something wonderful or strange. Now let's see what the explanatory dictionary hides:
- Classes, labor.
- The work of some organs, as well as the forces of nature.
Interesting, huh? It seemed to us that this is a language giant, but it turned out to be an ordinary word with two meanings.
Sentences with the word
Examples should show how the word feels in ordinary speech. Although it is clear that in this case our hero is not too often used by ordinary citizens to decorate the conversation. The noun “activity” is a regular in some scientific forums or conferences. But we still pick up specially simple examples:
- Dear Ivan Fedorovich, you need to smoke less, otherwise the activity of the heart and lungs will be in jeopardy.
- They say that activity is better than idleness. But when the volcano wakes up, we dream that it again fell into a sweet slumber. We need his work unnecessarily.
- Tell me, son, when will you start your labor activity? After all, when I left this sinful world, I would also like to believe that you would not die of starvation without me.
The suggestions make a strange impression, because people only say that in order to joke explicitly or implicitly. And when the matter is serious, then no one will resort to stylistic disagreement and express themselves so colorful.
Synonyms
Hopefully, it became clear that activity in the narrow sense of the word is "the work of organs, as well as forces of nature." Because “labor” and “occupations” are nouns that can be interpreted as you like. In the final, we want to provide the reader with a useful thing - synonyms for the value of the object of study:
- Job;
- work;
- motion;
- business;
- activity;
- initiative;
- act;
- occupation;
- practice.
The remaining analogues were left overboard: we felt that they were not so bright. But we hope that the list above is enough for the reader to solve the most daring tasks. And, of course, he understood the meaning of the word "activity" one hundred percent.
