For most people who are over 30 years old, and for those who are significantly younger than this category of the population, modern borrowed (most often from English) expressions in the field of Internet resources are unclear. Rather, it can be said that these phrases, abbreviations and other designations shock inexperienced users, forcing them to feel out of place or to feel excessive pressure from the age. This strength lies in the omission of something important, laziness, the absence of youthful courage and the desire to improve. However, everything is fixable, you just need to show a little interest and desire to keep up to date, well, with young people, of course.
Questions?
The topic that we will discuss today will concern three mysterious and incomprehensible letters. Moreover, these are not the letters that some inquisitive readers thought at this moment, and others - FYI. What does it mean? How to decrypt a three-letter rebus? Where can I use such a combination (so that it is appropriate)? The answers to all these questions are below.
Sorted in order
In order to understand what this FYI means, you need to turn to the very origins. People always wrote letters to each other: first with a pen on paper, then with a fountain pen, and then through the Internet. By the way, the electronic version of the correspondence has been familiar to us for a long time, and even older people skillfully use these benefits of civilization.
How PS decrypts, it’s no secret to anyone, but what FYI means is a more complicated task. It seems that those who received the letter marked with these three letters for the first time had a lot to smash their head over the meaning before understanding the meaning. But it is quite simple. The abbreviation FYI - this means that the interlocutor simply wants to draw your attention to the information written after it. In other words, the three-letter designation calls to read the opponent’s opinion, but do nothing at the same time. If such an explanation is not entirely understandable, then we will describe in more detail about the decoding of FYI in the next paragraph of the article and show an example in which case it is most appropriate to use it.
From English with a specific meaning
Let's analyze three foreign words:
- For, which can be translated from English as "for" or "to."
- Your - yours, yours.
- Information, literally meaning "information" and sometimes interest ("interesting").
So the capital letters of these English words, that is, FYI, - this means that the interlocutor made a note with the meaning "for your information" or "you will be interested." Consider a living example. Suppose two buddies correspond, which we will call √1 and √2.
√1: Hi, did you see the new Mercedes at the car show?
√2: Hello! FYI, it has 306 horsepower …
From this simple example, you can easily understand what FYI means in a letter. Moreover, this value remains unchanged both in friendly correspondence and in business. Using it in communication through letters is the best option and the most acceptable.
