Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Attachment"

A: I'm not sure what the context is here, but if it were a psychological statement it would mean the person experiences emotional conflict ("issues") about getting close to people.

A: When someone feels romantically connected to someone. This does not imply that love is mutual, if just means someone loves someone else. It can be mutual or non mutual

A: Let's see. 'Creep over her' means 'she slowly started to feel (smth). And 'sentimental attachment' means 'to have a sentimental liking for something that you don't want to lose' (usually despite the possibility that you may lose, or may have to lose, that thing). So, I guess, in simple terms, you could say, 'She gradually felt sentimental towards the place.' (BTW, I guess its not 'wrong,' but I think using 'creep' and 'sentimental attachment' is kind of weird.)

A: something that is attached !

A: "attachments" here means close relationships. So not married, no boyfriends or girlfriends, no children, maybe no close friends.

In other words, someone who isn't leaving anything behind, or who might even be disposable.

A: "I'm going to attach the lead to my dog's collar" attachment doesn't have many physical examples, the word is usually used on its own "I bought an attachment for my food mixer" it's used like this when a specific item has more items you can buy to attach or add-on to the original item, and to specify the type of attachment you say it before "attachment" e.g "whisk attachment" rather than "attachment of a whisk" if that makes sense. attachment can also be used to describe positive feelings towards someone or something, "I have an attachment to my ukulele, I don't know what I would do without it"

A: @Ri-na I have formed an emotional attachment with my penguins.

Some of my guitars are old, and not very good, but I have an emotional attachment to them.

A: I am emotionally attached to this teddy bear. I got it from my grandma on my third birthday. the teddy bear has emotional value to me

A: @wintrover

Ok I'll try my best to explain clearly :)

Most nouns need either an article (the/a/an) or a pronoun (e.g. her, his, their, your etc.) before it.

e.g. My friend. Their football. The tree. An apple. Your sister.

In the context of your sentence, 'attachment' needs an article before it (the/an).

This is a link to a website explaining when to use (the/a/ an) and when not to.

So 'Attachment is a file' does not make sense. You need to specify what attachment .

Therefore 'The attachment is a file' is correct.


Also it sounds like they are writing an email. Therefore they could write, " The attachment (to this email) is a file explaining all the details of the travel package."

Or they could write " Attached (to this email) is a file explaining all the details of the travel package.

The difference between those two sentences is so subtle. The first one implies that the reader is already aware of the attachment and the sender is letting them know what it is about.
The second suggests that the reader may not be aware that there is anything attached to the email so the sender is making the reader aware that there is an attachment AND what it is about.

Therefore a native Enlgish speaker would usually use the second sentence.


I hope this is clear. If you would like any further explanation I'll try my best :)

A:

Hold your hands together, interlocking the fingers

= attachment

Now, imagine that the hands have melted together, and you cannot easily separate them

= fusion

A: Well, attachment can mean different things. For example, a baby can be attached to his mother. Meaning that they are close to one another. Or it can mean that it is included in something. Like say, you attached a file in an email. So, in your email, you put/inserted a document to send to someone by email. While detachment is the opposite. Think of it like taking something off. Also, think of removal the same way. Like, say they are "removing"/ taking out, a virus off your computer.

And installation is when they are putting something in or on. Think of it, like when you buy a new washing machine, they bring it to your home and they put all the wires and things for it to work. That it's an example of installation.

A: Please see(look at) the attachment.
Please find the attachment. (where is the attachment? You better find it.. )

A: That's a weird phrase.
I'm assuming it's something like:
"I can't afford (any) attachments right now."
Which means I don't have time for forming relationships with other people.
