When there is a lot of something, we speak of abundance or simply abundance, perhaps wealth. We ask ourselves what excess is only when there is a certain norm, and everything else that is above it is already too much. Our narration will concern the excess today.
Value
Imagine a person who earns, for example, 50 thousand rubles, but he is used to living on 20 thousand. And for him 30 thousand is an excess. On the other hand, if you imagine, in place of an ordinary earning citizen, a Hollywood actor Jack Nicholson, he won’t understand how you can live on less than $ 1,000 a month. Because he has other needs that we have never heard of.
It turns out that the question of what excess is is not so simple. Or rather, this assessment is deeply subjective. Wealth, by the way, quite often, in the opinion of those who "can not live," sins with redundancy. And if we look back into the depths of centuries and recall, for example, the Roman Empire, then this is some kind of absolutely transcendental luxury, although modern oligarchs may understand the emperors.
This is all to the fact that everyone can interpret the question of what excess is, and so, and so on. But we need certainty, so let's look into the dictionary and see the meaning:
- Same as surplus.
- Abundance, fullness.
Before we talk about anything else, we need to reveal the first meaning, because it is given through a synonym for the object of study. The surplus also, in turn, has two meanings:
- That which remains superfluous, beyond what is needed, is the remainder.
- Excess amount.
As we see, in our example we are talking about the first meaning of the word "surplus". But, as practice shows, one can after all talk about excess as an excessive amount. For example, many gardeners know that it’s better not to flood some plants and crops with water, and some, on the contrary, will not oppose abundant, so to speak, baths. However, in order to answer the question of what excess is, it has become easier, we will draw up proposals for the reader.
Examples
Now let's see what examples can be found in our bins. Offers are always fresh, not used by anyone, because we create them in front of the reader. However, enough preface, let's get down to business:
- I found an excess of food, and I decided to make a salad codenamed "Everything That Is in the Fridge."
- A well-known Japanese company released a watering can, which itself determines how much moisture a plant needs, depending on the type of the latter. Therefore, in this case, no excess moisture is expected.
- As soon as my dog Rex realized that we were going for a walk, he began to jump to the ceiling from an excess of feelings.
All values of the object of study we have covered. We hope that the reader has already realized the meaning of the concept of "excess", and he will be able to draw up his own example sentences. Remember: only practice helps us to truly master this or that knowledge.
Synonyms
The topic will not be fully disclosed if we leave aside the replacement of the object of study. And the reader will probably feel that he has been deceived because of this. We would not want that. Therefore, we pick up analogues to the meaning of the word "excess":
- superfluous;
- fullness;
- abundance;
- brute force.
It remains at the discretion of the reader to add “wealth” to the list of nouns. First, we included it in the list, then crossed out. We thought that such a solution could be read as a "class moment." Wealthy people do not consider their income excessive, in their opinion, this is a necessary minimum, and so with everyone. Therefore, let the reader answer this question himself.
