Gebied : area, generally fairly big and somehow 'delineated', I think

Could you explain that a little? I think I understand, but what is the link with 'holy' (sacred, you mean, I guess, not 'holly' with double l)?

I just checked on the word at an English-language website and did not find that meaning there. It does resemble 'style level', but style level steems to be broader, because you could consider a register mainly a stock of words (just like an organ register: consists of certain pipes), i.e., a lexical issue, whereas style level in my view is usein a broader sense (pertains [?] to syntax as well for example). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

yeah, I meant holy...
I don't how this came to be, but in general, at least in Bulgarian, a lot of words that have something to do with holy people or objects have close if not the same rood as world and light. But there is a clear link between light and enlightened, and this can easily be the reason for the holy/light paradigm. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Let met also ask a question about Dutch:
FAQ-NL: What's the difference between "hard" en "luid"? Example: "Zet maar de muziek niet te hard!" or: "Zet maar de muziek niet te luid!" What do the native speakers say? Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 27 March 2011 at 9:01pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

'Luid' is simply Belgian Dutch, our 'Northern' neighbours prefer 'hard'. it is not an anglicism, oh no ! ;-)
Just like 'hardlopen' and 'lopen' in the Netherlands: we'd say 'lopen' en 'wandelen' respectively in Flanders. That's all. You see ? 2 persons have voted this message useful |
