Thread: Is there a word like "set" in Russian that can be used for tons of stuff?

belay that! — отставить!

Belay that? Are we pirates?

to put off the glass - отставить стакан

Put away, you mean? Put off is postpone.

For доставить as "to afford some positive feeling to smb." one should point out the feeling: "Доставить радость", "доставить удовольствие". In fact it is a series of set phrases rather than a function of verb itself.

Duly noted!

(again it is a mixture of different possible meanings but they have something in common - the way of thinking about it)

Thanks for letting me know

Copy-pasted from a dictionary. They say it is a military term.
