@Elena Bogomolova,
avec tous mes remerciements - ❤!

Gala Xadded a comment 7 years ago

Elena,
I'd like to ask - is it possible to use there - "to look for"?
I wanted to say:
"I'm looking for solitude",
but it seemed to me that "to look for" is better for physical things.
How do you feel about?☺

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Gala, de rien 🌞
I had the same impression, but Ngram gives us different results, and "look for" is even more often used in this context

Gala Xadded a comment 7 years ago

Elena,
compris!
Merci encore une fois☺

@Alexander Akimov,
thank you☺
But the same - in general I can't get the difference between "to search", "to look for" and "to seek" in this context.

Alexander Аkimovadded a comment 7 years ago

В смысле душевных поисков, обычно используется to seek.
Three coins in the fountain, each one seeking happiness

It would be nice to hear
Uly's opinion!☺

Igor Yurchenkoadded a comment 7 years ago

я сам не знаю толком различий в данном случае. но на уровне интуиции применительно к вещам нематериальным seeking мне нравится больше, чем looking for, и гораздо больше, чем searching for.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 7 years ago

Мне тоже seeking интуитивно больше понравилось.)

Alexander Аkimovadded a comment 7 years ago

Вот тут хорошее объяснение: seek - искать САМ объект, зная, что он существует и желать его иметь;
search - искать ГДЕ объект находится, не зная заранее есть ли он ТАМ на самом деле:
