[Tango-L] Energia II

[Sergio Vandekier]

Dear friends,
                  Every word has different meaning depending on what branch 
of science or arts we are discussing.

So (IMO) when we are dealing with dancing tango, we should apply the meaning 
of a word in reference to tango and not to physics. (I am sorry to have to 
say something so obvious).

I preferred  in this case French and Castilian dictionaries on line .

The word Energy according to the French dictionary on line has different 
meanings depending on the following subjects:

see  http://w3.granddictionnaire.com/btml/fra/r_motclef/index1024_1.asp

Biology, Chemistry, Commerce, Automobile Industry, Mathematics, Medicine, 
Metallurgic, Physics, Psychology, Technology, Zoology.

The dictionary of the Castilian Language on line says:  see

Energía. f. Fuerza, eficacia para obrar. Vigor y tesón en la actividad.  En 
Física, lo que puede transformarse en trabajo mecánico.  atómica,  se 
almacenada en los núcleos atómicos y se libera por escisión (fisión), o por 
síntesis (fusión).  de ionización, la mínima necesaria para ionizar una 
molécula.  nuclear, atómica.

Strength, eficiency to do something, Vigor, tenacity, perseverance in an 
activity. Physics: what can be transformed into mechanical work, Atomic: 
that that is contained in the atomic nucleous and liberated by (fision) or 
synthesis (fusion). Of ionization: the minimum   necessary to ionize the 
molecule. Nuclear, atomic.

Finally, the meaning I gave in my prior note: Vigor in activity,  is the one 
usually utilized by professional tango dancers with whom I have been in 
contact in Argentina.

Best regards, Sergio

PS. Please feel free to utilize the meaning you prefer.
