Any living language - a dynamic phenomenon.And one of the ways of development - borrowing.If you understand the system and method of borrowing the words, the meaning of the word "comme il faut" will be easy to install.
Either (especially European) language are very few native only his words and roots, because the languages of Europe for centuries have worked closely with each other and with the languages of Asia, Africa, America and Australia (due to colonization).
Foreign tokens may come to language as to refer to the new phenomena, and as new names for old phenomena.For example, in many languages, there are words (satellite, cranberry, vodka, soup, soup, carrots and other items calling the traditional Russian way of life).The words that have fallen into an international culture - is borrowed from Russian.Just as Russian children ask a question about what the word "comme il faut", the French wonder about the borscht, do not try it yet.
Borrowing can be of two kinds.Firstly, it occurs more or less accurate phonetic up words and its natural adaptation for easier pronunciation.Second, the division of the components of the word or expression and translation of parts of words in the language in which the borrowing.So often borrow complex multiroot words or entire phrase.Often, to identify such borrowing, one must possess extensive linguistic outlook, or a phenomenal linguistic flair.For example, few people realize that the word "Orthodox" - a blueprint borrowing the Greek word "orthodox".Throughout the long history of the Russian language in the loan came from the languages of other peoples.
Brief History of borrowing is as follows: in X-XII centuries, there were many gretsizmov, ie roots, coming from the Greek, especially in the area of the church.In the XII-XIV centuries came Türkisms: Mongol yoke could not pass without a trace of the language.
Next - Time of Troubles, the Cossack rebellions, splits - and close cooperation with Poland.In Russian there Polonism - ie borrowing from the Polish language.Then, of course, it was not known the meaning of "comme il faut."
Peter I loved the Dutch and German culture, and it also did not go unnoticed for Russian withdrew a number of Germanism, especially in the military and shipbuilding sector.
In the second half of the XVIII and XIX century, in all, as you know, were mad about the whole of France and French culture in general.The meaning of "comme il faut" then knew any child, "good manners, moral standards."Translated from the French phrase «comme il faut» means "as needed."Gallicisms did not take long and occupied many areas of life - military, court, art, fashion.Sometimes we do not even see Gallicisms in their own language: the battalion, boa, marmalade, tights, broth, comme il faut.Gallicisms value for the Russian language difficult to overstate.They certainly have enriched our language diversity of sound combinations.But now, unfortunately, many people have forgotten the value of some loans, but it is not comme il faut!Meaning of the word - is the least that we should know about it.
Well, XX century famous anglicisms and Americanisms.They came together with the fashion for jeans and McDonald, appeared together with thin models and iPhones, sailed across the sea with the rock culture and dollars.
Undoubtedly, XXI century, the first century of the new millennium, too, will bring us new phenomena and always - new borrowing.
