The word receive supports various uses in our language.
When someone takes, accepts, what they send or have given it is expressed in terms of receiving. Juan received twenty thousand pesos from compensation after the closure of the company where he worked.
On the other hand, we also use the word to indicate the admission and approval of something. They received the claim, now we have to wait for them to decide if it is viable or not.
Another frequent use that we attribute to the word is to express the acceptance visits by one person. The president is scheduled to receive her counterpart from Chile this week.
In another situation in which the use of this term is recurrent is when we are going to meet a person who was traveling and then by the joy that his arrival causes us to look for her at the airport. Tomorrow goes all family to receive Juan who arrives from Madrid.
Likewise, receiving implies the suffering or experiencing something. We received very bad news this morning, Mario's mother passed away in an accident.
To picking up a signal or a frequency we also express it through the word receive. This radio has a very poor reception in the area.
On bullfighting, which is the art from which bulls are trained, receiving, will be a position that the bullfighter adopts to the right at the moment in which he advances the bull to kill him.
And another common use of the word is to refer when someone takes an investiture, or gets a degree professional, which will validate it to exercise a certain profession or faculty. In other words, in the field academic it is law that when someone finishes their studies of race and satisfactorily performs all subjects, the institution in which he studied, he will give him a degree that will allow him to carry out the activity in question. Laura graduated from a doctor.
It should be noted that the term that directly opposes receiving is that of reject that just refers to the non-acceptance of something.
