You're welcome, Viveka. (It's funny, because, I start answering and improvising as I go and have fun at it, while learning myself, or confirming data I had forgotten or was sitting/parked there at one corner of the mind... Glad it is useful to you! )

acepción, connotación.
todos los matices bienvenidos.

connotar. (De con- y notar).


1. tr. Ling. Dicho de una palabra: Conllevar, además de su significado propio o específico, otro de tipo expresivo o apelativo.

¡Que maravilla!

viveka

"Learning myself". Learning my self.

JPablo, sounds truth. Truth enabling creativity.

A veces, lo que algunas palabras o frases denotan, aunque indiquen realidades opuestas, connotan la misma idea básica. Que es lo mismo que decir, que una misma idea pueder representarse con muchos sinónimos distintos, que al fin y a la postre, equivalen entre sí.

(Lo anterior es mi ejercicio o mi práctica con algunos sinónimos de "significar", las palabras en negrita. Siempre se pueden encontrar matices de diferenciación en los sinónimos, pero es lo mismo que un pintor puede encontrar matices en el color verde... verde primavera, verde mar, verde botella.)
Tengo _________ el cerebro

se puede rellenar con:

espeso
hecho m...
flojo

Tal como dices.

o simplemente podria haber dicho "estoy más turbado que de costumbre"

Gracias, Chileno, ¡entendido! ...

The brain is some soft for you.
I think what the most soft of you is your hard or your soul with all the respect what you merit.

Sueve mas cosas jejeje. No lo crees.

Just a joke more in the forums.
