what is the difference between the meaning of dias and podium ?

Answer 1

Hi!
Firstly, it is DAIS and not dias

Dais is any raised platform in a room, for dignified occupancy.

Historically, the dais was a part of the floor at the end of a medieval hall, raised a step above the rest of the building. On this the lord of the mansion dined with his friends at the high table, apart from the retainers and servants. In medieval halls there was generally a deep recessed bay window at one or at each end of the dais, supposed to be for retirement or greater privacy than the open hall could afford.

In France the word is understood as a canopy or hanging over a seat; probably the name was given from the fact that the seats of great men were then surmounted by such a feature.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A podium (plural podia) is a platform that is used to raise something to a short distance above its surroundings. In architecture a building can rest on a large podium. Podia can also be used to raise people, for instance the conductor of an orchestra stands on a podium as do many public speakers. Additionally, podium has commonly come to mean the object a speaker stands behind, even when it is at floor level, though the proper term for that item is a lectern.

One common type of podium is used to honour medalists in sporting events such as the Olympics. In the Olympics a three level podium is used, the highest level in the centre holds the gold medalist, to their right is a somewhat lower one for the silver medalist. To the left of the gold medalist is an even lower platform for the bronze medalist. Some sports, most notably rowing shun podia, and the symbolism they represent.

Similar podia are used in motorsport, where the first three finishers will usually stand on one at the end of the race to receive trophies. Notable exceptions are the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 races which have different historic customs. In motor racing, the term is frequently used to refer to a top three placing (as in "he'll get a podium").

I hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

A Dias is the platform you stand upon, the podium is the stand that is often found on a dias used for putting books, papers, pounding upon - lol!

But that's the difference.

Answer 4

They are substantially the same.

A podium is a raised platform on which a lecturer or the conductor of an orchestra stands. It is not to be confused with a a lectern as people often do; you stand on a podium but behind a lectern—a raised reading desk on which speakers can place books and notes comfortably within their view. A pulpit is a lectern raised usually well above the level of the congregation in a church, often with a short staircase leading up to a railed platform holding preacher and lectern. A dais is a platform at one end of a hall, for the high table at a banquet, or for speakers or performers.

Answer 5

A dais (not dias) is an area where several people can sit and at times a number of them may take turns speaking while the non-speakers sit; at times nobody is speaking (like at a meeting where dinner is served).

A podium is a place (like a pulpit) where only one person speaks, and then moves some distance away when not speaking.
