note
A note (from the Latin notitia 'knowledge, message') or a note is a brief piece of information recorded in writing . In diplomatic relations , short notes-like transcripts of oral statements are called aide-mémoire , which translates from French as a reminder .
Applications and further details
A note serves, for example, as a reminder of tasks or appointments to be completed, or helps to record extensive information in a short form (short note).
Particularly suitable for notes is the shorthand , because of their compactness and speed.
A famous type of notebook is the Moleskine , which is said to have been used by famous people such as Ernest Hemingway , Louis-Ferdinand Celine , Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse .
Dictation machines are also sometimes used to take notes orally.
A derived meaning is the perception of an object or a situation or state by someone ( taking notice of something / someone ).
The author Ludwig Hohl raised the "note" to its own literary genre: his main philosophical-literary work Die Notizen comprises many hundreds of notes-like entries that revolve around the same topics over and over again.
