What does "Kudos" mean?

Answer 1

kind of like saying, "good job!" or giving someone credit for something.

Answer 2

I know I've mastered the ability to walk, talk and read. There's nothing much left to learn in these fields, and I can do it all with complete ease. Doesn't mean I never stub my toe, slur a few words, or stumble on a sentence now and then, but I've reached a point where it's completely causal. I'm not an olympic sprinter, or a public speaker, or a speed reader -- those are all entirely separate skills -- but what I learned is plenty to get through life. I never forget that the martial arts are called an art, whether or not that's an Eastern interpretation, but in the West this does have a purpose. An art couldn't be something you perfect. Music, painting and sculpting all have near limitless potential, but stages of development that you would have to "master" to get better. A black belt, as we've explained before on here, is about having a firm understanding of the fundamentals, or "All basic movements and techniques, can be applied with extended force and proper application in basic combination." The key words here would be "all basic movements and techniques" and "extended force and proper application". I would say there is a mastery of having LEARNED the requirements and KNOW how to put them to use, just not anything further from the basics. I think people go a little too far with the word, using it mostly erroneously, but the intent of comfortably and casually using what you've learned is what they're all implying. As for the martial arts as a whole, that I believe is impossible, especially as an art.

Answer 3

What Does Kudos Mean

Answer 4

Kudos is praise for an achievement. It's from a Greek word that means miraculous glory.

Answer 5

It means respect! You gain kudos or earn it, people talk of street kudos or military kudos. It is not a German slang term for bye1 it means the same thing in German!

Answer 6

Kudos means "good job"....it signifies credit, and is congradulatory in nature.
Kudos means "way to go!" also.

Answer 7

Kudos is, I believe, a Greek word and it refers to the importance and respect one gains inadvertently from others through ones skills and abilities by giving generously of both; thus it also has overtones of 'good karma'.

Its 'opposite' is hubris, self-importance gained from skills and abilities exercised to demonstrate them as a means of proving ones superiority rather than for their intrinsic use or social value.
