Significados de Interest em português

Le mot "interest" en anglais est utilisé dans plusieurs contextes, principalement pour désigner un sentiment d'attraction ou de curiosité envers quelque chose, ainsi que pour évoquer des aspects financiers.

  1. Utilisation et contexte :

    • Sentiment ou curiosité : "Interest" peut désigner l'attention ou la curiosité que l'on éprouve pour un sujet. Par exemple, dans une phrase comme "She has a strong interest in art," cela signifie qu'elle est passionnée par l'art. Ce type d'utilisation est courant dans des contextes académiques ou professionnels, mais peut également être utilisé dans des conversations informelles.
    • Aspect financier : "Interest" est également utilisé pour parler des intérêts financiers, c'est-à-dire le coût de l'emprunt d'argent ou le revenu généré par un investissement. Par exemple, "The bank charges high interest rates on loans" indique que la banque applique des taux d'intérêt élevés sur les prêts. Cette utilisation est fréquente dans des contextes financiers, juridiques ou économiques.

  2. Phrases et expressions courantes :

    • "To take an interest in" : S'impliquer ou s'intéresser à quelque chose. Ex. : "He takes an interest in environmental issues."
    • "To have a vested interest" : Avoir un intérêt personnel dans une situation. Ex. : "She has a vested interest in the outcome of the project."
    • "Interest rates" : Taux d'intérêt, souvent utilisé dans des discussions économiques ou bancaires.

  3. Contexte formel ou informel :

    • L'utilisation du mot "interest" peut être formelle, surtout dans des documents financiers ou académiques. Dans des conversations quotidiennes, il peut être utilisé de manière plus informelle pour exprimer des passions ou des hobbies.

  4. Erreurs courantes :

    • Une erreur fréquente est de confondre "interest" avec "interesting". "Interest" est un nom, tandis que "interesting" est un adjectif. Par exemple, dire "This book is full of interest" est incorrect ; il vaut mieux dire "This book is interesting."

  5. Mots connexes :

    • Synonymes : curiosity, attention (pour le sens de curiosité) ; return, yield (pour le sens financier).
    • Antonymes : disinterest (manque d'intérêt), indifference (indifférence).

  6. Prononciation :

    • "Interest" se prononce /ˈɪn.tə.rest/ en anglais américain. Il est important de noter que la syllabe accentuée est la première.

  7. Grammaire et étymologie :

    • "Interest" est un nom dénombrable et indénombrable selon le contexte. Il provient du latin "interesse", signifiant "être entre" ou "avoir une part dans".

Ce mot est donc polyvalent et s'applique à divers domaines, allant des passions personnelles aux discussions financières.
