what it means
Dual means one thing that has two of something, at the same time and on purpose. A car with dual controls has two steering wheels and two sets of pedals, so the instructor can take over without changing seats. Someone with dual nationality holds two passports and is not half a citizen of either. That is the part worth keeping: dual is not a split. The two do not take turns and they do not get half each — both are fully there, inside one thing. Watch the spelling as well. Dual is two of something; a duel is a fight between two people, and the two sound exactly alike.
Dual es una sola cosa que tiene dos de algo, a la vez y a propósito. Un coche dual lleva dos volantes y dos juegos de pedales; el instructor toma el mando sin cambiarse de asiento. Lo importante: no es una mitad y otra mitad. Las dos están enteras, dentro de una sola cosa.
Dual é uma coisa só que tem duas de alguma coisa, ao mesmo tempo e de propósito. Um carro dual tem dois volantes e dois jogos de pedais; o instrutor assume sem trocar de lugar. O ponto: não é metade e metade. As duas estão inteiras, dentro de uma coisa só.
Dual désigne une seule chose qui en possède deux, en même temps et volontairement. Une voiture dual a deux volants et deux jeux de pédales : le moniteur reprend la main sans changer de place. L'essentiel : ce n'est pas une moitié et une moitié. Les deux sont entières, dans une seule chose.
Dual adalah satu benda yang punya dua dari sesuatu, sekaligus dan memang dirancang begitu. Mobil dual punya dua setir dan dua set pedal, jadi instruktur bisa mengambil alih tanpa pindah tempat duduk. Intinya: ini bukan separuh-separuh. Keduanya utuh, di dalam satu benda.
Dual, bir şeyin aynı anda ve bilerek iki tanesine sahip olmasıdır. Dual bir arabada iki direksiyon ve iki takım pedal vardır; eğitmen yer değiştirmeden kontrolü alır. Önemli olan şu: yarı yarıya bölünmek değildir. İkisi de tam olarak oradadır, tek bir şeyin içinde.
dual は、一つのものが同じ時に二つ持っている、しかもわざとそうしてある、という意味です。dual の教習車にはハンドルもペダルも二組あり、教官は席を替えずに運転を代われます。大事なのは、半分と半分ではないこと。二つとも丸ごと、一つのものの中にあります。
