Meaning of skill in this context :?
I'm reading a manga and at the end of a fight the winner says:
If skill, rather than luck , were to decide the victory, you might have won by now
By skill does he mean skills or fate ?
Is there a rule how I can recognize what the person opposite means? There are two definitions of skill.
He means the skills. The fighting style, strength, endurance, discipline….
I’m sure the underlying one had bad luck. Sword lost or broken, blinded by the sun, who knows…?
In this case, “Glück” is the context. The winner won by luck.
Thanks for the star.
Yes, there is the rule. They’re called “context.”
What is it in this case?
I don’t know, I don’t know the context. Probably it is
skill, but you can’t say more.
Yes, this struggle was not long and you can’t clearly say what he meant. This is why I could ask. I am not a German and have thought that there may be a rule with which one can clearly classify it in such cases.
