what it means
Sanguine means cheerful about how a thing will turn out, and it is the last word standing from the old medicine of the four humours: sanguis is Latin for blood, and the person with blood in charge was the warm, hopeful one. So it is not general happiness. You are sanguine about something — about the deal, about the weather, about the results. The drawing is the exact register. The office is under water, the man's hat has floated off, and he is drinking his coffee with his feet up, entirely unbothered. Optimistic is the plain word. Sanguine is optimistic while the water rises, which is why it can be an insult.
Sanguine es estar animado sobre cómo va a salir algo. Es la última palabra viva de la medicina de los humores: sanguis es sangre en latín, y aquel en quien mandaba la sangre era el cálido y esperanzado. En el dibujo la oficina está inundada, el sombrero flota y el hombre bebe su café con los pies en alto. Optimista es la palabra normal; sanguine es serlo mientras sube el agua.
Sanguine é estar confiante quanto ao desfecho de alguma coisa. É a última palavra viva da velha medicina dos humores: sanguis é sangue em latim, e aquele em quem o sangue mandava era o caloroso e esperançoso. No desenho o escritório está inundado, o chapéu boia e o homem toma o café com os pés na mesa. Otimista é a palavra comum; sanguine é sê-lo enquanto a água sobe.
Sanguine : confiant sur la façon dont une chose va tourner. C'est le dernier mot vivant de l'ancienne médecine des humeurs — sanguis, le sang en latin, et celui que le sang gouvernait était le chaleureux, l'optimiste. Dans le dessin, le bureau est sous l'eau, le chapeau flotte, et l'homme boit son café les pieds sur la table. Optimiste est le mot ordinaire ; sanguine, c'est l'être pendant que l'eau monte.
Sanguine berarti yakin bahwa sesuatu akan berakhir baik. Ini kata terakhir yang masih hidup dari ilmu kedokteran humor kuno: sanguis berarti darah, dan orang yang dikuasai darah dianggap hangat dan penuh harap. Di gambar, kantor sudah terendam, topinya hanyut, dan pria itu tetap menyeruput kopi. Optimis itu kata biasa; sanguine adalah optimis saat air terus naik.
Sanguine, bir şeyin sonunun iyi olacağına dair güven demek. Eski hılt tıbbından hayatta kalan son kelimedir: Latince sanguis kan demek ve kanın yönettiği kişi sıcak ve umutlu sayılırdı. Çizimde ofis su altında, şapka yüzüp gitmiş, adam ayaklarını uzatmış kahvesini içiyor. İyimser sıradan kelimedir; sanguine, sular yükselirken iyimser olmaktır.
