The adverb almost comes from the Latin word quasi and refers to that which was narrowly missed or to that which is approximate . For example: “The Chilean player almost scored a goal, but he was unlucky: his shot hit the post,” “We are almost at the hotel, be patient,” “I almost slipped because of the wet floor.”
Let's analyze the examples to understand what the term almost refers to. If someone mentions that a soccer player “almost scored a goal,” it means that the athlete in question was close to scoring, but failed. To score a goal, the ball must cross the line of the goal or goal. Those who clarify that travelers have “almost” arrived at a place, on the other hand, are referring to the fact that they have to travel a small distance to arrive. Finally, a person who “almost” slipped may have been at risk of losing balance, but ultimately managed to remain standing.
To all of the above, we can add the existence of a show that responds to the title of “Almost Decent”. It is a play in a comedy style that is directed by Álex Salaberri and David Cepo and that has been performed in different cities in Spain.
Through humor the actors in this show allow the viewer to laugh at human miseries. In this way it is recommended for everyone but, above all, for people who are going through bad times because it will allow them to put a smile on their face and be able to see life in a more positive way.
In the same way, we cannot ignore that Almost is also the diminutive that is popularly and affectionately used to refer to people who have certain names. Specifically, it is the hypocoristic of names such as Casimiro or Casilda, among others.
CASI is also the acronym that identifies the Club Atlético de San Isidro , an institution whose headquarters are located in the town of San Isidro , in the province of Buenos Aires ( Argentina ). CASI is famous for its rugby team, which won more than thirty titles in first division tournaments organized by the Buenos Aires Rugby Union ( URBA ). Among the rugby players who made up the CASI squad, Agustín Pichot and Santiago Phelan stand out.
It should also be noted that there is an auction house in Ibiza called Casi Todo. It was launched in 1973 and has its headquarters in Santa Gertrudis.
The San Isidro Provincial Agrarian and Livestock Cooperative , for its part, is another entity identified with the acronym CASI . This cooperative is located in the Spanish municipality of Almería and is dedicated, among other things, to the marketing of its members' products through auctions .
To all of the above we must add that this cooperative was launched in the 1940s, specifically in 1944, by farmers belonging to the Huerta y Vega de Almería. They did so with the intention of being able to directly sell the products from their gardens in the city's food market. Fundamentally, they dedicated themselves to selling both potatoes and vegetables.
