Thread: Add to --> 500 most common & useful words

If there would be a need to create a list of 500 most common and useful Russian words, what would you put on the list based on your experience? Just add a few words you can think of at the moment.

For sure greetings and farewells.

Catch
hit
put
bring
take
become
pull
stop
.....oh, and spank!

pie
pocket
dog

To go.

Here are a few forms

идти
поитй
ходить
уходить
ехать
доехать
поехать
ездить
уитй
взять
брать
ложиться
переитй
переходить
проити
проходить
подоитй
подходить
побывать
покатиться
следовать
смотаться
катиться
лечь

It's better to write them in Russian, since some words have double meaning.

The list should be 500 words, not phrases (even if it's a one-word phrase).

Kwatts59, there's a mistake/typo in a group of words:
