EASY QUESTION: What Does.....???

Question

what does "persa" mean, like for example: "It's not that I don't want to talk to you persa....."??? How do you explan persa (in a simple way lol)??

Answer 1

Per se:  as much or  with respect to its inherent nature For example. " "this resume is interesting per se"

Answer 2

It is a Latin word, actually spelled per se.  Normally used in legal terminology, it actually means by itself.

It is a rather pretentious word and usually used incorrectly!!  lol.

An example of a sentence where it may be used could be:

It's not that I don't like the way she speaks per se (meaning, It's not JUST the way she talks that I don't like - there are other factors!!)

or rewritten as:  It's not that I don't like the way she speaks in and of itself...

Hope this helped a little - it's a tough one to explain and probably best left unused unless in court, lol!!

Answer 3

Per se, latin for "by itself" -- meaning that no further explanation is necessary.

To Stephanie S. -- it's "with all due respect".  

Answer 4

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r...

states that per se means

with respect to its inherent nature

so I would say an easy way would be to say

With all do respect

Answer 5
