This refers to seeing ('zag' is the past tense of 'zien', which is close to the English 'to see'). So the connotation is one of someone to which people look up. Interestingly, the related attitude of someone who is under authority is 'gehoorzaamheid' (obediency). This in turn refers to 'horen', i.e. listening to (to hear). Hence, another sense is addressed.]]> 2018-10-25 22:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297201232 COMMUNION https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203091 2018-10-25 22:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203091 BEGIN(NING) https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203139 2018-10-25 22:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203139 TRUST https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203170 2018-10-25 22:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203170 INTEREST https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203193 2018-10-25 22:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203193 RESPONSIBILITY https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203231 2018-10-25 22:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203231 LEARNING https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203260 In Dutch: 'leren'. This word sounds almost the same as learning, but there is an enormous difference in that the same word also refers to teaching. You can say in Dutch: the teacher 'learns' the student to solve a mathematical equation.]]> 2018-10-25 22:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203260 STUDY https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203278 2018-10-25 22:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297203278 INTEREST / MOTIVATION https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297795351 Example from Turkish: 
In Modern Turkish, the counterpart of the word 'student' is the word 'öğrenci' which derives from the verb "öğrenmek ( to learn). So this  derivation makes the word 'öğrenci' like in the meaning of 'learner'. However,  here I would like to point out another word 'talebe' which is used by the older generations ( age 50,60, 70s) or 'conservative' people (probably its referral to the old empire). The point I want to make here is the philosophy behind these two words. In the word öğrenci, the person is in a position where evertyhing is given to him/her, implying a passive learning. However, in the word talebe (the word derives from the verb talip olmak meaning to demand something, to go after it), the person is the one who is after the learning, demanding it and trying to reach the knowledge that s/he wants to learn to acquire, implying a much more active position.  This could be an interesting example in terms of education or  philosophy of education in a different context.]]> 2018-10-28 19:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297795351 TRUST (in Japanese) kanako_matsuyama11 https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297805648 信頼(shin-rai) - Believe (信じる) and rely on (頼る). Evaluate high on a certain thing/person, and have a feeling to entrust it/him/her with everything.  Trust can be divided into 2 categories - trust toward the ability of a person, and trust toward the intention of a person.]]> 2018-10-28 20:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/297805648 Trust (in Spanish) https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/298426124 Confianza - from the latin word “confidentia“. Where the prefix "con-" means together, with or everything. And where the latin term "fides" means faith. So, confianza means "with all faith".]]> 2018-10-30 11:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/298426124 INTEREST(in Chinese) https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/302034123 Interest in Chinese is 兴（xing）趣（qv）. The word refers to the tendency that people want to know something or engage in certain activities, or the pleasant mood generated by engaging in those things. 兴（xing）refers to the joyful emotion and 趣（qv）means fun. 
Besides, 趣（qv）has always been valued by Chinese artists(especially painting), but the meaning here is slightly different from just “fun”. Rather, it is considered to be the ultimate beauty of art with its implicit form and far-reaching artistic conception. (I think this aesthetic orientation to some extent represents an introverted and modest national character.)
Motivation can be the outcome of having interest. It is based on the need to understand and explore the outside world.

Which can be translated as - "to educate yourself/to study yourself".]]> 2018-11-15 08:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/304686617 STUDENT (Spanish) https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/312494599 In Spanish we have different words to refer to student/pupil and there is a frequent debate on which option is better. For example, “alumno” is a word that comes from the Latin word “alumnus” derived from alĕre which means “to feed”. “Alumno” is defined as a person who receives teaching from a teacher/school/university. Therefore, it might emphasize the idea of transmission of knowledge to someone who lacks it. An option people use instead of “alumno” is “estudiante” (student), it refers to a “person who study” or a “person who is doing studies in an educational institution”. People who defend this concept state that in contrast to “alumno”, “estudiante” assumes more proactivity from the person. Finally, there is a third concept, “educando”. “Educando” is a gerund of the verb educāre (‘to educate’). This word - used for example by Freire- is argued to emphasize the dynamical aspect of being in an educational relationship. There is no consensus, but usually they are used depending of the connotation coherent with certain educational perspective. Specially in educational policy or academic settings there is an active use of these different options.

Even though the original definition referred both acquiring knowledge and transmitting knowledge, nowadays people only uses this verb as “acquiring knowledge about something by means of study or experience”, or “fixing something in the memory”. ]]> 2018-12-08 12:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/312495212 STUDY https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/312495871 The spanish word for study is “estudiar”, it has different definitions but the most common are related to “exercising the own understanding to comprehend something”, “receive teachings” in an educational institution, “fixing something in memory” (learning), and to “attentively examine something” (observing).  ]]> 2018-12-08 12:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/312495871 RESPONSIBILITY (in Danish) https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/316165673 The danish word for responsibility is ansvar which can be connected to the English word answer. Both in terms of law and moral the word refers to the ‘the obligation to guarantee or account for something or someone’. ]]> 2018-12-20 14:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/joris_vlieghe/mj2vxfdr77ta/wish/316165673
