For example: <em>\"To tenderize the meat, it is best to hit it with a dough or boil it for an hour\"<\/em>, <em>\"The new mattress is a bit hard, but I know it will get softer as the days go by\"<\/em>, <em>\"The recipe indicates that it is best to soften the chickpeas in warm water\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the use of the term in a physical sense, soften can also be linked to <strong>smooth<\/strong> a posture, a <strong>thought<\/strong> or something symbolic: <em>\"The government does not plan to soften its position and will remain firm in the negotiations\"<\/em>, <em>\"The solidarity campaign has managed to soften the hearts of thousands of people\"<\/em>, <em>\"Analysts believe that the official candidate must soften his image to reach other sectors of the electorate\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, this sense of the word soften can be used to refer to misconceptions, usually related to an anger between two people over superficial issues.  If someone gets angry with a friend for minor reasons, it is possible to say that \"when it softens, the relationship will go back to how it was before.\"  This is due to the fact that obfuscation, that is, a state of great confusion and inability to reason correctly, is considered homologous to extreme <strong>solidity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>idea<\/strong> softening, on the other hand, is used with respect to what is carried out to achieve that a person <strong>put aside your intransigence or your anger<\/strong>: <em>\"We're going to leave him locked up for a few days: that's how he's going to soften up\"<\/em>, <em>\"The authorities sent the soldiers to soften the suspects\"<\/em>, <em>\"I have great resistance, they will not be able to soften me easily\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In some <strong>countries<\/strong> Finally, the notion of softening is linked to the fact that <strong>roll a new vehicle<\/strong> (0 kilometer) until the parts of your engine are seated and coupled together perfectly, and that the pressure of the lubrication circuit and the compression of the engine can be carried out correctly. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Ablandar.jpg\" alt=\"Soften\" width=\"253\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45336\"\/>In this sense, specialists recommend traveling a certain number of kilometers taking various precautions to soften the car, such as constant control of the <strong>temperature<\/strong> and oil, and avoid speeds that exceed a value determined by the manufacturer.  This process of \"softening\" brand new cars is considered very important for optimal performance and durability.<\/p>\n<p>A few decades ago, cars fresh from the factory used to have a sticker indicating the need for such a <strong>treatment<\/strong> special, with phrases like \u00abIn soften;  do not withdraw before traveling 1000 kilometers \u00bb.  Thanks to the presence of this warning message, drivers behind one of these vehicles knew that they should not require their owners to exceed certain speeds or accelerate abruptly.<\/p>\n<p>Experts in the field assure that old vehicles that continue to perform admirably <strong>owe their state to an adequate softening process<\/strong>.  Over the years, engine technology has advanced considerably, and today zero kilometer cars are delivered with a pre-set process, without stickers such as those mentioned above.  All this has led consumers to believe that it is no longer necessary to soften cars to achieve a <strong>functioning<\/strong> optimal and extend its life time.<\/p>\n<p>However, this is not entirely true: to get the different components of a new car to offer ideal performance, it is still necessary to travel a certain number of kilometers, depending on the <strong>indications<\/strong> from the manufacturer, taking the aforementioned precautions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;4212&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;soften&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px;
