The Context Meaning


Transcript:

So, if you think about it, words per se don't have any meaning. The meaning to the words is assigned by us in the context in which we hear it.

For example, if I say, "I am not at your level of singing." These are the words. "I am not at your level of singing."

Now, when Sandeep says this to Shreya Ghoshal, everybody understands that Sandeep's level of singing is not as high as Shreya Ghoshal.

And when Kishore Kumar says it to Sandeep saying, "I am not at your level of singing," it means completely different. It means that, "Okay, I am not at your level of singing. I am at a much higher level of singing."

So you see, at one instance, I am at a lower level of singing. "I am not at your level of singing" when I say this to Shreya Ghoshal. And when Kishore Kumar says it to me, he's telling me that you are at a lower level of singing than I am. I am at a higher level of singing than you.

"I am not at your level of singing" per se doesn't tell you which way the up and down is.
