Spat decisively?
Hello everybody.
I'm reading Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
with this he spat decisively on the floor, ‘I im-
mediately cancel my room. I will, of course, pay nothing
at all for the days which I have lived here; on the contrary
I shall think about whether or not I will initiate some sort
of action against you, something which—believe me— will
be very easy to establish.’
Would you please tell me what decisively means in the above? Does it mean on purpose?
What does initiate some sort of action against mean? Does it mean proceeding against in the court?
Thanks so much ??
