One of the most frequent uses of the word allows us to refer that It has come across an individual, or failing that, a thing that was eagerly sought and finally appears, that implies that we find it or it, as appropriate.
To run into that or that which he was looking for and that was lost or disappeared
So when we find an object, for example, a ring that fell off and we couldn't find, we will say: “I found the hoop lying on the bathroom floor”; and in the event that what is sought is a person, we will say: "after so long I found my cousin, she had lost track of her twenty years ago.”
Both things, objects, or people can be searched because they were lost, they are no longer in the place where we always kept them, in the case of an element.
A person who stops living in the house that was known to him, and moves, and does not give them the address or new contact to those close to her, it will generate that the people who want to find her must search for her through various strategies or resources.
Forced disappearences
And on the other hand, there are people who disappear from their place of membership because something happens to her, that is, she does not leave home or work, or wherever she is because she wants to, but someone takes her to the force and against his will.
This state of affairs will generate that when it is discovered that the person disappeared, without leaving a trace, a message farewell, among others, her family and friends decide to undertake a search to find her.
The first action should be to report the disappearance to the police authorities of the area close to the one that disappears.
Complaints for the disappearance of persons can be made after a period of 24 hours after having lost track of the person.
Meanwhile, in recent years, the relatives of disappeared persons, in addition to making the pertinent complaint to the police, have approached the media. communication massive, with photographs and other data of the person they are looking for, to be able to viralize and make the search more widespread, involving more people, in order to make it easier to find them.
When the media constantly shows an image of someone missing from TV, for example, It will be possible for someone to identify him and if he saw him, to be able to provide some information that helps to find him.
Chance meeting with someone
On the other hand, we also use the term find when we want to show that we have come across a person, casually. “I met Laura at the exit of the Gym, we could not believe the coincidence.”
Those fortuitous encounters, the product of causality, can cause a pleasant surprise, or quite the opposite, especially if it is someone who we did not want to see at all or with whom we have some kind of dispute or fight.
Physical or mental state that we go through
Also, the term find is used with recurrence to refer that we are going through a certain state or that we are in a certain place. “After so many days of moving, I really feel very tired; when you are in Buenos Aires we will meet on a trip to New York.”
As in this case that is exemplified, it can be a physical state, but it is also often used to express various states of mind that may be going through a situation, sadness, joy, anger, among others.
Meeting
On the other hand, to the timely arranged meeting of two or more individuals in one place we also refer to it by finding: "with my cousin we decided to meet at the station bar after work.”
Meanwhile, this meeting is popularly called a meeting.
Sport: rivalry between teams
Meanwhile, in the sport we also find frequent use of the term at hand, since by implying confrontation, opposition , allows us to refer the rivalry of two soccer teams, for example, which will be evidenced on the playing field. “Two absolutely different styles of play will be found on the court.”
It is worth noting that the aforementioned sense of opposition and confrontation that the term finding shows is not limited to the field of sport and can also be applied in other contexts to account for the meeting of ideas, opinions, among others, between two or more people.
And we also use the word find as a synonym for the terms interpret and consider, with the mission of providing our opinion about something or someone. “I do not find this exercise so easy.”
