Originally Posted by jigSAW Word History of FRIEND: A friend is a lover, literally. The relationship between Latin amīcus “friend” and amō “I love” is clear, as is the relationship between Greek philos “friend” and phileō “I love.” In English, though, we have to go back a millennium before we see the verb related to friend. At that time, frēond, the Old English word for “friend,” was simply the present participle of the verb frēon, “to love.” The Germanic root behind this verb is *frī–, which meant “to like, love, be friendly to.” Closely linked to these concepts is that of “peace,” and in fact Germanic made a noun from this root, *frithu–, meaning exactly that. Ultimately descended from this noun are the personal names Frederick, “peaceful ruler,” and Siegfried, ”victory peace.” The root also shows up in the name of the Germanic deity Frigg, the goddess of love, who lives on today in the word Friday, “day of Frigg,” from an ancient translation of Latin Veneris diēs, “day of Venus.”
A marriage is a socially, sometimes religiously, and often legally recognized union between or among partners forming a family, legitimizing sexual relations between the partners and providing the context for legitimate production of offspring. Marriages are generally publicly declared in the context of a wedding ceremony.
so, from the above defined terms, Friend does not lag behind much from Life Partner, does it?
any of you wondering what I meant by all these references, I just want to say that,I find this compatible with my married life.
Now, I draw a bottomline: "Wife/ Life Partner is GOOD! Friend is BETTER! But Life partner who becomes friend with his wife or her husband is the BEST!" | Sorry but have to disagree with you. We are talking about relationships based on the most common interpretations. What you have just explained here concludes you support wife/husband’s relation to be superior.
If you don’t agree with the above statement, this might help
When we say “I’m going to the toilet”, it doesn’t need explaining why but if you refer to the dictionary, then I’m sure the out come to be similar to your grounds of this debate.

Freind .. Wife/Husband ..
WHAT ??
WHO IS BEST ???
What sort of a STUPID Question is this ???
JigSaw bhai came up with an explanation, for which, I believe, a lot of time was wasted and in return, he got Masoom's reply, which hardly means anything.
Debate ? THis is debate to you people ? This is more like asking a question " Assa vai volen to HAAT bhala na PAA bhala.. fik fik .. " |

Disagreeing with my statement is OK!
a topic reply expects personal view based on experiences of each individaul, which is variable. so, my conclusion was my sole view reflection, which is never meant for anyone to sum up for closing remark for the topic. the Topic asked my opinion "which is best?" I replied with a step by step discussion. when you step into a ledder, is it the high end you put your feet or the low end? jumping for the BEST in the first try is only possible when you are high on something or you are on higher ground, as someone like Superman or some any other Mortal of that sort. since you / we are simple human being, it's wise to say according to what is fact and what you believe and any logic you want to add or not. who said I pointed out the Final Conclusion? did I say that somewhere? I don't think so.
anyways, carry on people....don't mind me  |

anyways, carry on people....don't mind me  | It is true that this is not a subject to debate and does not fall into those categories but it has been posted and many members are debating.
My point is not to prove you wrong but I am just going by the rules of debates as this is the debate forum. Your post was interesting and has much good information but this is totally advisory and is no justification to any earlier posts as most people posted based on their understanding about friends and not the actual meaning.
I agree with you that a wife can be a good friend and also life partner but the questioner was very clearly asking friends or husband/wife and in this case we should be separating these two relationships and answering best of our knowledge.
A partner can be a friend and much more but will always be called/known by one name not another. |

amar wife jodi amar ekjon valo friend na hote pare, tahole or amar wife howar 50% e britha jabe! shukh-dukkher shomoy amar wife ke jodi na pai, she jodi amar moner obostha na bujhe, ami probleme e porle amar pashe eshe na daray, tahole keno she amar wife? tokhon ami kar kachhe jabo? nishchoy ekjon friend er kachhe!
kintu jodi amar wife erokom na hoy, amar khub valo ekjon friend hote pare, caring & responsible hoy then take ami shob shomoy pashe pabo. shob kotha take ami mon khule bolte parbo r trust korte parbo nirdidhay. so tokhon amar wife shudhu wife na, ekjon valo friend o.
ultimately ami kar kachhe jete chachchhi? ekjon friend er kachhe...
so friendship > husband/wife-ship [for me]. |

Why are we complicating our self, when everyone know this fact. Don't think which sounds better but reality, putting yourself to a test.
Ex. if your friend disrespected your wife, what would your reaction be and what when your wife does the same, please don’t tell me your reaction will be the same. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
