among & between

[alva7]

na czym polega róznica miedzy "between" i "among"? czy mozna
powiedzic : "I always sit between Pater and Irene."? (Siedze zawsze
miedzy Piotrem i Irena)

[tuti]

between jest pomiedzy dwoma
a among pomiedzy jak jest wiecej niz dwa.

I'm standing among the rain.
I'm standing between two droplets of the rain. (hypothetically, of course).
Qantum phisisc says that you could be acctually among and between at the same time, but that I guess is a different topic.

[mudzyn7]

Hypothesis still, if you were to stand among the rain, you would obviously get wet.
But if you stood between "it" you are still good to go to the party unscathed. Cheers1

Without fail,

[karul]

your English needs fixing - you do not stand "among" the rain,
but "in" the rain. Pay attention, my boy, pay attention and think
twice before you hit the keyboard.

[mudzyn7]

Well, obviously I confussed among with amid.
And yes, my English needs fixing, hence I'm on this forum among other things.
I, however still think that my explanation wasn't that far off.
Thanks anyway, my boy.

I just got one of those "strikes of genius" you see in the movies.

Among - Posrod
Between - Pomiedzy.

And That's that!
