"Exists" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Exists is a verb that means to have a real or actual existence, to be found or present, or to be in being. It implies that something is not merely hypothetical or imaginary, but is indeed present or presentable. For example:
The universe exists, or at least, it seems to.
The company exists to provide a service to its customers.
This hypothesis exists only in theory, but not in practice.
In a broader sense, existing is a state of being in a particular place, condition, or reality.
To existentialise something means to consider or interpret it in a way that is influenced by the philosophical idea of existentialism, which emphasizes individual freedom and choice, and the meaninglessness of life without personal responsibility. Existentialising something involves looking at it in terms of its fundamental nature, without reliance on external frameworks or authorities, and accepting that its meaning or purpose is entirely subjective and dependent on individual interpretation.
Existentialists are individuals who subscribes to existentialism, a philosophical movement that emphasizes individual freedom and choice. They believe that life has no inherent meaning, and that individuals must create their own purpose and values in life. Existentialists often focus on the present moment and the individual's experience, rejecting abstract concepts such as God, morality, and objective truth. They may also emphasize the absurdity and uncertainty of life, and the need to accept and adapt to these conditions. Existentialists may also advocate for living authentically, being true to oneself, and taking responsibility for one's own choices and actions.
Exited typically means to leave or depart from a place, situation, or condition. It can also mean to close or terminate something, such as a program or a process.
