Imagine the phrase: "This is the one who was born with me in the same year." Long, right? But you can in fact express the same thing in one word. Which one? This is the same age. We will consider what it is, where it came from, make suggestions, and also think about what gives the same age to people, if he, of course, at least gives something.
Origin
To some, the story may seem obvious. But the obvious must be broadcast. After all, once banality was expressed for the first time.
This is all to the fact that the peer is an equal. And we will find out the details in the etymological dictionary. There was a word that is now not found in the explanatory dictionary, so there is no certainty that it is used. True, there is no reverse feeling that the word has disappeared. Maybe really disappeared. Be that as it may, this word is "equilibrium." It is noteworthy that similar words are in Polish (rowieĹ›ny) and Czech (rovesnĂk). In the latter case, almost tracing paper. It is possible that it was from Polish that it was borrowed, although perhaps this is our native word. And that means a strange word for the modern ear: “equal” - “equal in years.”
Value
Yes, the story is understandable, although there is no complete clarity. But the last one in life is not a frequent visitor. Peer status is always an occasion to compare. In Samoyed people, such a comparison usually ends with the question: “What have I achieved?” If you know this, then drive these thoughts, because such thoughts are a dead end. Each person is unique, fate is born out of millions of coincidences, and it is foolish to compare one with the other only on the basis of age. If such speeches do not help, then let's get down to business and open the explanatory dictionary. There will probably be no surprises, but there will be facts. So, the meaning of the word "peer": "A person of the same age with someone."
Age is a sad topic, but it is not at all necessary to be sad, let's look at the object of study in the context of very young sentences that we are writing right now.
Examples
Yes, the explanatory dictionary and the meaning of the words in it is wonderful. But sentences always give a more lively and concrete understanding of a particular part of speech. Therefore, we will not postpone our examples, of which there will be three:
- C'mon, what is your peer? He’s five years younger than you. What do you compare and why?
- Like it or not, your peer understands you better. After all, you were brought up with him in the same time conditions, the same factors influenced you. And taking into account globalization, the individuality of social conditions can be ignored. The only thing is if he is very poor, and you are very rich.
- Yes, how do you think that you have come to the point that you are the same age as that, but he won that, and you, nah, yes. But it’s better not to think about it, because you can be sad.
Yes, it turned out somehow sad. As Berdyaev said, a person’s gaze is sad at the passing time (we quote approximately, therefore there are no quotes). Our peers are those who are now approximately in the middle of their life paths. On the one hand, a lot of time is yet to come if nothing tragic happens, and on the other, there is a "young, unfamiliar tribe." In any case, sadness is not the time; it is time to complete what has begun.
Synonyms
It would seem that we have a word to which replacements are hardly selected, and this feeling is not misleading. There are really few synonyms, but they are. Let's look at the list:
- peer;
- one year old;
- one year old.
Just three words. The true meaning of the word “peer” can be understood when you are still more than twenty. Although young people also manage to reproach themselves. The phrase is not so rare: "I am 18, but I have not achieved anything yet!" Of course, we know her from famous models, but there are ordinary people who thought the same. And at their level, they achieved something, probably. At least that can be believed. In general, one must believe in the best and the good.
