To protect you from embarrassing situations, the editorial board "Site" It contains 7 words and their meaning.

Difficult words in Russian

1. Close the gestalt
   That word has become a buzzword. There are people who close the gestalts almost 10 times a day. For example, when they say that they finished the book or finished the report. Gestalt is a term from psychology. An unclosed gestalt is something that a person has not completely figured out, for example, in a relationship, and constantly mentally returns to it. That is, to close the gestalt is to analyze what is disturbing and deal with it. It’s more important than watching the series.

2. Nonsense.
   This word is often used when something amazing, unusual happens. Here, for example, scientists have found a cure for cancer – and want to shout “nonsense!” It’s a joy to shout like that, putting only positive meaning. But this word has the opposite meaning. Nonsense is absurd, nonsense, complete absurdity. It would only be appropriate if doctors invented the pacifier.

3. Congenial
   It's a confusing adjective. Many believe that congeniality is the highest degree of genius. That's just the prefix "con-" has nothing to do with the prefix "super-" and its like. Translated from Latin, this prefix means “together”, and genius means “spirit”. It turns out that the congenial is a close in spirit person.

4. Indiscriminate
   Perhaps the most interesting word in this collection. It is somewhat similar to the adjective “unpleasant”, but its meaning is quite different. It's more of a compliment than an insult. There used to be the word "hypocrisy," which meant prejudice against someone or something. That is, non-clear is impartial, fair.

5. Odious.
   If the previous word was unfairly given a negative connotation, then, on the contrary, it was embellished. When you say, “He’s such an odious actor,” that’s not a compliment. Odious is not the one about whom odes are composed, but a very unpleasant person. The word comes from the word odiosus - nasty. Yeah, no compliment.

6. Ambitious
   Another word that is taken as a compliment. An ambitious person is often called a person who is considered determined and determined. But an ambitious person is rather an arrogant and vain person. In the dictionary, "ambitiousness" is a sharpening of self-love. Do not take this word as praise!

7. Supply
   You can often hear: “I am dominated by the boss, there is no strength!” And it seems that you want to feel sorry for a person, but only until you know the correct meaning of this word. In all dictionaries, the word “sufficient” means “sufficient for someone.” But this is not such a terrible mistake, because the verb has modernized and received a different meaning. As a result of consonance, “to be satisfied” began to be identified with the word “to press”. So in conversation, it can already be used in this sense.
