By complimenting someone, we thus show our admiration, praise and approval - by his manners, appearance or correctly expressed thought. Compliments almost always bring positive emotions - after all, every person has a little pride and vanity.
Compliments are necessary, they create the necessary atmosphere of good mood. A compliment must be truthful and natural, unobtrusive and not have a hidden negative connotation. If you try not to scatter words left and right, but to express a positive attitude towards the interlocutor, then this can give the conversation the necessary ease. But if in a compliment mockery, claim or understatement is felt, then it becomes vulgar and offensive.
Compliments are successful if they are uttered at the right time and place. Said at the right moment, in a polite, elegant form, praise will please the person for whom it is intended. Compliments uttered can instill confidence in a shy person, help to relax a closed person, and cheer up someone who is sad. But when giving a compliment, you should avoid immoderate enthusiasm and exaggeration.
You should not say compliments without thinking at all about the form in which they are uttered and how timely. Praise should not contain open flattery. Often a girl is told: "You look great today!" Now imagine that instead of being grateful for the praise she received, the woman asks, "Did I really look much worse yesterday?" or to “How beautiful you are today!”, And in response, the question involuntarily arises: “But on other days you can’t say this about me?” When giving a compliment, it is always important to remember: it should not have a hidden meaning, subtext. Compliments said in passing, in passing, sound indecent, and one should not be surprised that the response to such words is also not serious.
It is undesirable to give moral advice as a compliment, for example: "This color suits you very much, you should dress in this color scheme." Compliments must be said in a confident voice, with a smile, kindly and wholeheartedly. It is worth avoiding cheap theatrical effects, ostentatious facial expressions, feigned enthusiasm, and gestures must correspond to the spoken words. It is not necessary to allow even hints of irony in compliments.
If you are going to give a compliment, it is important to calculate the possible reaction to it. If you expect a negative reaction to the compliment you said, then it would be better to refrain from pronunciation. When giving a compliment to one girl, it is important to be careful, because another girl can hear these words and an awkward situation will result. Often this can worsen the mood of a woman who accidentally overheard, in which case, a dual situation may result. Guys do not say compliments to each other, it is considered stupid and looks funny from the lips of the one who pronounces them, indecent, at least if they do not look like an innocent joke. It is inappropriate for a man to compliment unfamiliar women, and especially girls.
A woman, having received pleasant words from a man, should not succumb to flattery. Usually, it is important to take any compliment very carefully, since imaginary love and a false disposition are hidden in the pleasant words expressed.
What then should be the reaction of a person to a compliment? What should you do when receiving compliments?
It is necessary, from the bottom of my heart, to thank, it is quite enough to say briefly, "thank you." If it is noticeable that a person is fawning without hiding, just limit yourself to words of courteous gratitude. Questions and comments (in response to inappropriate or ambiguous compliments) should be kept to yourself. When accepting praise, do not argue with the person. Don't underestimate your worth. If a person admires your appearance, you don’t need to talk about your poor health in response, even if you really feel bad.

In everyday life, we periodically face the task of searching for words according to certain parameters. Unfortunately, the use of paper dictionaries is somewhat difficult when you do not remember exactly the spelling of a word. Moreover, the search takes a lot of time, and sometimes, due to the infrequent updating of the vocabulary database, you do not find the word you are looking for at all. We have combined many dictionaries and automated the word search process, which now takes only hundredths of a second.
Presented to your attention words starting with A. Almost every word in our dictionary contains a definition, and various search options allow you to almost always find a result. In this section of the site, we have provided the ability to search for a word using a rubricator.
To find all words starting with A, you must sequentially indicate the first letter of the word you are looking for, then the second, the third ... in the end, you will find the word by the selection method. In addition, filters by word length, located in the "Search Options" block, will be useful to you.
In other sections of the project, it is possible "Search for words by mask and definition", "Composing a word from a word or letters", "Solving and compiling anagrams online" and many others.
Our database contains more than 300,000 words of the Russian language and is good for solving crosswords and scanwords, solving school and student problems, an assistant in board and online games.
We hope that received list of words starting with A will significantly save your time, and the search results are guaranteed to help in solving the problem.
