MORE ABOUT JOURNEY
What does
journey mean?A journey is a trip, especially one to a faraway place that takes place over a long period of time.
The word trip can refer to any instance of traveling from one place to another, no matter how long or short it is. The word journey, though, typically implies a long trip—one that’s at least several hours, and perhaps several months or even years. It also often implies adventure—a journey might even be a quest. A journey may or may not have a planned destination other than whatever lies ahead.
The word is also commonly used in a figurative way to liken any lengthy process or progress to such a trip, as in Life is a journey, with many interesting detours.
Journey can also be used as a verb meaning to make a long trip, as in We must journey to the land beyond the mountains.
Example: My favorite books are about people who make epic journeys around the world.
Where does
journey come from?The first records of the word journey come from around the 1200s. It comes from the Middle English word journee, meaning “day,” ultimately from unattested Vulgar Latin diurnāta, meaning “a day’s time” or “a day’s work.” In English, the meaning of the word journey originally meant something like “a day’s travel,” but eventually came to mean “a long trip.”
A journey can last a day but the word usually refers to longer trips. The word is sometimes preceded with the mode of transportation that’s used, as in The city is reachable only by a long train journey. Discussion of journeys often involves their destination or purpose.
When people say, “It’s the journey, not the destination,” they mean that the significance and value of a journey is what happens along the way, from moment to moment, as opposed to the achievement of its ultimate goal.

The word “impatiently” often raises the question of how it is spelled correctly: together or separately. You can understand this by studying the rule for using this construction in writing.
Video of the day
Part of speech
In Russian, the construction “with impatience” is considered an adverb or an adverbial phrase with the preposition “s”. In a sentence, it answers the question "how?" and is immutable.
Example:
Alexander was looking forward to meeting his beloved because he had not seen Mary for two weeks. Tatyana impatiently informed Oleg that she would soon be forced to leave for St. Petersburg to study.
Interesting! On time - as it is written, together or separately
Rule for using adverbs in writing
The adverb “with impatience” is derived from the noun “impatience” using the preposition “with”. This is what allows you to understand how the construction is written correctly: together or separately.
According to the rule, if the adverb in the composition has the preposition under, from under, before, for, without, with (co), then it should be written separately with this particle.
Example:
We were looking forward to the arrival of a mysterious guest, about which the organizers of the holiday did not tell anyone. Anna eagerly told her friends about entering the capital's university and plans to move to Moscow.
Wrong spelling of the adverb
You can avoid mistakes in using the adverb “looking forward” in writing by studying and remembering spelling errors. They include two:
confluent - "suspense"; through a hyphen - "with-impatience." For using the wrong spelling of the adverb "impatiently" in an exam or test, points are reduced.
Example:
With impatience, Maria was in a hurry to tell Tatiana the news about the arrival of her old friend, Dr. Stanislavsky, in the city. - Incorrect spelling.
With impatience, Maria hurried to tell Tatiana the news about the arrival in the city of her old acquaintance, Dr.
Stanislavsky. - Correct form.
Adverb synonyms
If you can't remember how to spell the word "impatiently", it should be replaced with a synonym in writing to avoid a spelling mistake:
impatiently; greedily; fast; without explanation of the essence; with lust; greedily; with greed; at a fast pace; with lust, etc. When choosing a synonym and replacing it with an adverb, the meaning of the sentence must remain unchanged.
Alexander impatiently went into Tatiana's apartment and began to inspect all the premises to make sure there were no strangers. - Alexander quickly went into Tatyana's apartment and began to inspect all the premises to make sure there were no strangers.
Interesting! “Not only” – as it is written, together or separately
Examples of using the adverb
Examples of using the adverb “impatiently” in writing allow you to visually remember how the construction is written correctly:
Tatyana and Alexander eagerly approached the reception to find out if their father had settled in this hotel.
