Addirittura - meanings

Certo, copio e incollo la tua submission qui @coolmevrouwtje, così mi è più facile fare un post veloce e spiegarti come usare la parola “addirittura”. …davvero la consideri addirittura bella? - Do you really consider it to be even beautiful? This is just an example ;) , but I’m going to write down a better explanation (hopefully), as the meanings sometimes might seem pretty similar and it’s not so easy to explain them all: Addirittura is an adverb and it can be used in a few ways: 1) As in the example I wrote before, it means “even” (perfino); it works mostly as an interjection and it stresses how extraordinary can be a fact, a condition, a quality: E’ andata addirittura dal medico per un raffreddore! - She even went to the doctor for just a cold! Sì dimenticò addirittura di salutarlo - She even forgot to greet him. Dovrai aspettare un po’ di giorni se non addirittura settimane - You’ll have to wait a few days if not/even several weeks Non solo ha vinto la gara, ha addirittura battuto il record del mondo - He not only won the race, he even beat the world record Si è addirittura sentito il colpo da qui - We even heard the blow from here

2) It might also mean: “completely, definitely, absolutely” (assolutamente, completamente), and, as above, it works as an interjection used to stress a fact:  Un simile atteggiamento è addirittura inconcepibile - Such an attitude is absolutely inconceivable Sei addirittura esagerato - You’re completely overreacting

3) Meaning “even, really” (nientedimeno che), especially as an emphatic response or in an ironic way: “Non gli parlerò più!” “Addirittura!” - “I won’t ever speak to him again!” “Oh, come on!” ”Ho dovuto pagare una bella somma” “Addirittura!” - “I had to pay a lot” “Really??!!” “Tra gli invitati alla festa di Giovanni c'era anche (addirittura) il sindaco” “Addirittura!” - “Among the guests at Giovanni’s party, there was (even) the mayor” “You’re kidding me!” “Nessuno sa dire la mia età con esattezza, mi danno al massimo 18 anni” “Addirittura!” - Nobody can exactly tell my correct age, they say I look 18″ “No way!/Really?!/As young as that!/Get away with you/Come off with it/You’re kidding me/You don’t say!” “Ieri ho bevuto 7 birre” “Addirittura!” - “Yesterday I had 7 beers” “As many as that!/You don’t say!Really?!” In this context, it is used with a few meanings according to the tone/feeling you want to express, as I tried to show especially in the latest examples. They generally can be summed up as the following ones (and closer ones): - “Really? / Seriously? / Ah, don’t say so!” - “Is that so?” (more indignant/scornful) - “You’re joking / You’re kidding me” (more surprised/informal)

4) Meaning “straight away” (direttamente):  Non si è limitato a telefonare, è venuto qui addirittura - He didn’t just phone, he came here straight away.  5) Meaning “long ago, as far back as” and referring to something that happened back in the past, as a time complement (complemento di tempo): Queste pitture rupestri sembra risalgano addirittura a 17′000 anni fa. - These cave paintings are believed to date as far back as 17′000 years. 

I hope I made this clear enough (and that I haven’t forgot anything), if not let me know! Ciao

Pulla

Ingredients: • 5 dl milk • 50 g yeast • 1 egg • 1 ½ - 2 dl sugar • 1 tbsp cardamom • 1 ½ - 2 tsp salt • about 1 kg (15-16 dl) wheat flour • 150 g butter • 1 more egg to brush the pulla with • sugar for decoration (• butter if you want to make voisilmäpulla)

Instructions: 1. Dissolve the yeast into lukewarm milk 2. Add egg, sugar, salt, and cardamom and mix 3. Add flour little by little, mixing first with a whisk, then kneading with hand, but leave some of it to be added after butter 4. Add melted (but not hot!) butter 5. Continue adding flour until the dough is soft and elastic but doesn’t stick to the bowl and your hands (you learn to add just the right amount by practicing) 6. Cover the dough with a clean dishtowel and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 30min) 7. Shape the dough into equally sized buns 8. Brush the buns with egg wash and sprinkle sugar on them (If you want to make voisilmäpulla, push a hole on the top of each pulla with your finger and put some butter in them) 9. Heat the oven to 225 °C and bake the buns on the middle rack for 10 minutes or until golden brown 10. Enjoy!

説明 vs 解説

説明→ある事柄が、よく分かるように述べること。

解説→物事の要点、意味などを分かりやすく説明すること。

解説と説明はほとんど同じ意味ですが、「解説」は「説明」の中に含まれています。

「解説」は「説明」に、何か専門知識を含んで説明することです。

日常的な事柄の手順、手段、方法や、個人的な感情などを相手に伝えることは「説明」です。

それに対して、客観的な専門知識に基づいた説明は「解説」です。

（例）駅までの道を説明する、遅刻した理由を説明する、医者に症状を説明する、私が怒ってる理由を説明する

（例）ニュース解説、スポーツ実況解説、楽曲解説、試験問題の解説

（hinative）
