  • 61 своим умом

    ДОХОДИТЬ/ДОЙТИ СВОИМ <(СВОИМ) СОБСТВЕННЫМ> УМОМ до чего; СВОИМ УМОМ додуматься, догадаться и т.п. all coll
    [VP (subj: human, more often pfv) or NPinstrum (Invar, adv)]
    =====
    to understand (figure out, guess etc) the sense or meaning of sth. independently, without assistance or guidance from anyone:
    - X дошёл до Y-а своим умом X worked (figured) it <Y> out himself <by himself, for himself, on his own>;
    - X came to it (the conclusion, the solution etc) by himself < on his own>.
         ♦ "А в книжках этих каждый про своё брешет, поди разберись, где правда? Без книжек, своим умом дойти - самое дело..." (Максимов 2). "All those people who write books keep telling us different things - so how are we to know what's right and what to believe? Best thing to do is to work things out for yourself without any of them books..." (2a).
         ♦ "Да где ж это видано, чтобы народ сам по себе собирался без всякого контроля со стороны руководства?" У Килина внутри всё остыло. "Так ведь, Сергей Никанорыч, ты же сам... вы ж сами говорили: стихийный митинг..." - "Стихией, товарищ Килин, нужно управлять!" - отчеканил Борисов. В трубке что-то щёлкнуло... [Килин] перевёл дыхание... Ведь всё так просто и понятно. Мог и сам своим умом догадаться: стихией нужно управлять (Войнович 2). "Who ever heard of people assembling all by themselves, without any control on the part of the leadership?" Kilin went cold inside. "But listen, Sergei Nikanorich, I mean, you said so yourself - a spontaneous meeting..." "Spontaneity, Comrade Kilin, must be controlled!" rapped out Borisov. Something clicked in the receiver....[Kilin] took a deep breath....Of course, it's all so simple, so easy to understand. I could have figured it out myself. Spontaneity must be controlled (2a).
         ♦ "...Коли бога бесконечного нет, то и нет никакой добродетели, да и не надобно ее тогда вовсе..." - "Своим умом дошел?" - криво усмехнулся Иван. - "Вашим руководством-с" (Достоевский 2). "...If there's no infinite God, then there's no virtue either, and no need of it at all...." "Did you figure it out for yourself?" Ivan grinned crookedly. "With your guidance, sir" (2a).
         ♦ "В какой-нибудь из греческих книг ты прочёл об этом?" - "Нет, я своим умом дошел до этого" (Булгаков 9). "Did you read this in some Greek book?" "No, I came to it by myself" (9a).

    id. Truc. 2, 4, 12:

    (β).
    = imperative of third person:

    velitis jubeatis, Quirites... uti de ea re Ser. Sulpicius praetor urbanus ad senatum referat, etc.,

    id. 38, 54, 3.—And parodied by Cic.:

    velitis jubeatis ut quod Cicero versum fecerit,

    Cic. Pis. 29, 72.—So in oblique discourse, vellent juberent:

    rogationem promulgavit, vellent juberent Philippo... bellum indici,

    Liv. 31, 6, 1:

    vellent juberentne se regnare,

    id. 1, 46, 1; cf.
