Re: Complete definition of any word does not exist

Because we are able to understand the meaning of the word while the definition is incomplete.
And what is the definition of a child for example? As you see, no matter what your definition is one can always ask about the definition of the words you use in definition. This process at the end is either circular or is incomplete.
Huh?
By complete I mean there is no need for further definition of other words used in the definition.Age wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 1:55 pmLet them ask. There is only a finite amount of words anyway.
As I said when the complete (proper and correct) definition for ALL words fit together perfectly to SHOW the real and actual Truth of things, then that is the complete picture of things. When HOW to LOOK AT and SEE the actual and real Truth of things is FULLY understood and KNOWN, then It is ALL complete.
Also, just because one can always ask for the meaning of the words in the definition of a word, then that in no way infers that I can not possibly have a complete definition.
Maybe because you are insistant that it is NOT possible at all to have a 'complete' definition of a word, then you might have a different definition or a different understanding of what the word 'complete' means, so how do you define the word 'complete', or if you do not like to provide definitions, then what example do you have for the word 'complete'?
True. But that doesn't mean that I can provide a complete definition of any word.Age wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2019 1:55 pmYou have, so far, used words to convey your understanding, which infers that you also understand things BECAUSE OF words.bahman wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 10:19 pmI think I convey my understanding in the previous comments, this post and another post in reply to your another post.Age wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 2:45 pm You may understand things that way. But I understand words, firstly from past experiences, and also from examples, defintions, and meanings.
But sentences use words and you just said;
Complete definition of any word does not exist since we always define a word in terms of other words.
So, if sentences use words, and, complete definition of any words does not exist, then how could you understand the words just in the context of more words, or a sentence?
Each and EVERY word in that sentence, according to your logic and conclusion, would also not have a complete definition. Therefore, what happens now?
Also, even your sentence stating;
We also understand the words in the context of a sentence.
Would not have a complete definition. It is a sentence, which is just made up of words, obviously. Therefore, no complete definition exists in your sentence, thus there is no meaning nor a correct and proper sufficient conclusion also. Your sentence is made up words, with each and every one of them not having a complete definition, that is; IF your, so called, "logic" and conclusion is true, right, and/or correct. But we will NEVER KNOW, because according to you NO complete definition exists.
But you are not able to SEE what I am saying here, and NONE of this would make any sense to you, because I used words to describe things here to you.
SEE, any one who says things like;
There is NO complete definition of words.
Truth does not exist.
God is an impossibility to be real. Or,
Things can not be known.
ALL FAIL, because these ones are using the very actual THINGS that they are 'trying to' argue and fight against.
