Abstract: The hermeneutic situation in Martin Heidegger has 9 elements: the preliminaries (1), the partners (2), the hermeneutic relationship (3), the thing (4), the language (5), the discourse as address (6), the listening (7), the understanding and its derivatives (8) and the hermeneutic circle (9). The preliminaries (1), the partners (2) and the hermeneutic relationship (3) are primary elements. The thing (4), the language (5), the discourse as address (6) and the listening (7) are middle elements. Man is a hermeneutic being; as a conscious being, man evokes a hermeneutic situation through this very fact. The middle elements of the hermeneutic situation are the subject of the present study. The thing is whatever exists in one way or another. The thing (4) is what is in relation to being. Language (5) is the house of being. So the thing reaches Dasein through language. Discourse (6) is the addressed speech. Speech derives from the listening (7) that precedes it.
