The glass is actually full. Full of half air and half water.
As for the water content, technically, there is no difference, except as it pertains to the process of filling or emptying, i.e. if it was filled and you drank some, it is half-empty; if it was empty and being filled, it is half-full.
if the glass has been drunk from full to half then it is half empty and if u only filled the glass half way wouldn't it b half full!
Half full. If you look at it as just a glass with water in it then that's what it is. If you put meaning into it then the glass will always be completely full. How full do you want your glass?
It depends on who is responding to the question. It also matters if you are filling up the cup, or drinking it.An optimist, focusing on what he or she has, observes what is in the glass - the full half. A pessimist, on the other hand, focuses on what is missing, what he or she doesn't have - the empty half.It is always full. It may be filled with 50% of water and 50% of air, or any variation of competing percentages, but it is always full of something even if it looks empty as it could be FULL of air.It's completely empty until you put something in it.The cup is half full. A glass can't be half empty because half of nothing is still nothingIf you pour water into a cup until its filled half way, the cup of water is half full.If you fill a cup of water completely, then empty half of the water, the cup is half empty.If I told you I poisoned the water in the cup, would it matter if it's half full or half empty?The cup is not half full or half empty. The cup may be 1/8 off of being half full/empty, but it would take mad skill to get the cup exactly half full/empty. I suggest you do not ask a question, but rather a statement, like, "The cup is 1/4 filled." or "The cup is 3/4 filled." I assume you noticed I said "Filled" instead of "Full" or "Empty". But, since there is the one in a million chance that one of us has some crazy awesome mad skill, I guess you should ask "Does the pot have half of the pasta it can hold?" but add "And you can't say if it's filled!". So, the cup is half filled.
He could be either. This is the same kind of question as the half full/half empty glass. In truth, the glass is both half full and half empty.
If you just poured the liquid into the glass then it's half full, of you just pourd some out, then it's half empty
By Haurn Mo. It depends on your perception. If the glass was already empty and you starting filling it up but stoped halfway, the glass is half full, If you started drink it but stoped halfway, the glass is half empty.
If you are drinking from it its half empty, if you are pouring it, the glass is half full.
They are very practical. If you had a glass half filled with water, an optimist would say it was half full, a pessimist would say it was half empty but and engineer would observe that the glass was twice as big as it needed to be.
Imagine a glass with water to the middle of it(half). You can say "The glass it's half full" or " The glass is half empty". Generally, if you say the 1st you are a optimist, the 2nd you are pessimist. So if you are a glass half full kind of person means you see situations in a optimist point of view.
There are three views of this: The optimist sees the glass as half full. The pessimist sees the glass as half empty. The Engineer says: "What you've got there is the wrong sized glass".
You cannot "fill" to make anything "Full" unless you have an empty glass. knowing it was empty first, you could easily say its half empty. It was empty first.Ok now it has water in it. only half. it ain't half full unless it started full, then was emptied some. but you normally receive half of what youre looking for. Scientifically, its half empty.
It's better to think that the glass is half full.
