Dear John,<br><br>Your clarification slightly changes my answer regarding Russian. Average Russian in this case would say "Izvini menja, ty ne prav" (Pardon me, you are not right) and only after that will tell you the right way to go. This is the polite way.<br>The neutral and rude way: Ty sovsem ne prav (You are absolutely wrong) or<br>Eto ne tak (This is not so), etc., etc.<br><br>Hayim Sheynin<br><br><b><i>John Roberts <dr_john_roberts@sil.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <div id="ygrp-text"> <div>To Wayne, Bill and Jan,<br> <br> I see! that I need to give the context. I had told my colleague how I <br> thought I
should go to the faculty building and she responded with "I <br> feel you do not know the way to the faculty building." In this (English) <br> context I would have responded with firstly "I see you do not know the <br> way to the faculty building." or secondly, with the deduction weakened a <br> bit "I think you do not know the way to the faculty building." But I <br> would never use "I feel ..." in this context.<br> <br> I am not sure if I would ever use "feel" where I am expressing my <br> understanding of someone else's knowledge. I would only really use <br> "feel" to refer to emotions or intuitions. For example, "I feel you do <br> not care (for me) any more." or "I feel (intuitively) this is the right <br> way to go."<br> <br> So, for me it is to do with the semantics of "feel", i.e. that I use <br> this verb when referring to emotions or intuitions, rather than about <br> making a statement on how the evidence was obtained.<br> <br> John Roberts<br> <br> </div>
