Thread: Most frequently used vocabulary in Politics/News?

What do you think are the most frequently used words in the news? I'm trying to compile a list of Russian vocabulary so others won't have a hard time reading Pravda or something.

I'm looking for words like:
to declare
to discuss
to impose sanctions
uranium enrichment
relations (between countries)
trade
deficit
world poverty
release

..etc

Right now I'm at school, and my dictionary is at home. So tonight, hopefully, I'll come back and update the list with Russian words and such.

Meanwhile, I'd really appreciate it if you guys would help! Not me, but anyone who wants to read the news po-russki.

Tahnks!

You may want to consult this website, for futher reference:

to declare - объявлять, заявлять, декларировать
to discuss - обсуждать
to impose sanctions - применить санкции
uranium enrichment - обогащение урана
relations (between countries) - отношения
trade - торговля
deficit - дефицит
world poverty - проблема бедности(?)
release - освободить

Можно использовать слово "сношение" в том же значении в этом контексте?

сношение is an old-fashioned word. I'm reading "Idiot" by Dostoevsly now and he uses this word quite a lot. But he lived two centuries ago! Actually, the word сношение can mean - an intercourse.
You can say - у меня были с ним сношения несколько лет назад - which means - I had intercourse with him a few years ago.
But in contemprorary language it might be misunderstood. People will think that you mean that you had sexual intercourse with him a few years ago.
Do you get it?

Ты имеешь в виду - сношение - relation? Думаю, что в таком значении это слово очень редко употребляется.

Лол, в таком случае, я думаю, что лучше использовать слово "отношение". Я не хочу производить не то впечатление ни на кого.

There is a real story about a girl who liked to mix with people and especially with foreigners, so she lerned this phrase in English: "Hello! My name's blablabla, I'd like to have an intercourse with you!" She knewonly one meaning of the word.

to impose sanctions - накладывать санкции

release - нужен контекст, т.к. очень много вариантов может быть.

The only thing I know is that everyone thought she was a maniac or something.

how about "nuculear" would that be ядарный or нукулеарный? =:^0
