The most common words in English

According to The Global Language Monitor, the English language in 2018 has 1,041,257 words. This number is constantly growing, because new words come into the language regularly due to the development of culture and technology.

Agree that it is simply impossible to know them all! But don't worry. To begin to understand English speech, a small vocabulary is enough, which consists of the most popular words found in the speech of native speakers every day. nine0003

In this article you will find the most frequently used English words with translation, which are necessary for basic knowledge of the language.

How many words do you need to know in order to speak fluently with a foreigner and understand him? According to various sources, this number varies from 3,000 to 6,000 words. This is a good vocabulary, which will be enough to, for example, go on an independent trip or watch a movie in English.

So what are these "common English words" in question? These are the words that are most often found in the colloquial speech of ordinary people, in books, films, the press, and so on. In general, wherever possible. You probably already guess what kind of words will be discussed in this article? nine0003

According to various studies, frequently used words make up approximately 25% of our speech. Thus, out of 100 words that you will hear, 25 will be from the list that we will give below.

Before learning new words on different topics, be sure to check out the article where we have collected frequently used English words. Neither more nor less, but a whole 1000. It will be where to start.

Let's take a closer look at common English words and find out which nouns, verbs, adjectives and other parts of speech are most common. nine0003

It's no secret that the most commonly used words in English are personal pronouns. The first thing we learn is how to say "I" and "you". Without personal pronouns, it would be simply impossible to communicate: we would not be able to tell about ourselves, ask a question about the interlocutor, and in general, express our opinion.

There are seven in total:

• I - I
• you - you
• he - he
• she - she
• it - it
• we - we
• they - they

These pronouns decline quite easily, because in English there are not as many cases as in Russian. And the pronoun "you" is not declined at all and is translated depending on the context of the sentence in which it is used.

• me - me, me, me
• you - you, you, you, you, you, you
• him - him, him, them
nine0029 her - her, her, her
• it - him, him, her, them
• us - us, us, us
• them - them, them, their

Possessive pronouns indicate who owns the object and answer the questions “whose?”, “whose?”, “whose?”, “whose?”.

• my - my, my, my
• your - yours, yours, yours, yours, yours, yours, yours, yours
• his - his
• her - her
• its - him, her
• our - ours, ours, ours
• their - their

Another small group of the most common pronouns are demonstratives.

If objects are close (you can point to them), then:

• this (singular)
• these - these (plural)

If objects are far away, then:

• that - that, that, then (singular)
• those - those (plural)

Pronouns can also be indefinite:

• all - all, all, all
• every - every
• any - any
• some - some, some
• other - other, other, others

They are used both by themselves and can be part of another word. For example, by adding the word "body" (body) to "every" we get "everybody", which will be translated as "everything" (about people). Similarly, adding the word "one" (one) to "some" we get a new word "someone", which is already translated as "someone". nine0003

An important part of speech that helps to talk about an event or objects. Interestingly, depending on the context, the same prepositions can be translated in different ways. Check out the most popular and frequently used prepositions in English below:

• at
• between - between
• in - in, on
• on - on
• over - over
• under - under
nine0043
• along
• down - down
• from - from
• through - through
• to
• up - up
• after
• before - before
• during - during, during
• since - from (some point in time)
• about
• for - for
• with - from
• without - without
Adverbs

This group of words helps to convey additional information or our attitude to what has been said. Their use enriches our everyday speech and makes it more coherent.

Here are the main adverbs you need to know:

• again - again
• already - already
• also - also
• almost - almost
• always - always
• enough - enough
• especially - especially
• even - even
• just - just now, just
• quickly - quickly
• most - most
• never - never
• now - now
• often - often
• only - only
• slowly - slowly
• sometimes - sometimes
• still - still
• then - then, then
• very - very
• usually - usually
• well - good
Questions

These words are quite common in English. With their help, most interrogative sentences are built, and they can be used both separately and as the beginning of a full-fledged question.

• what
• who - who?
• when - when?
• how - how? nine0030
• which - which?
Nouns

Perhaps the largest group of words in any language are nouns. Here English is no exception. True, not all of them are found in everyday speech. What are the most common nouns in English? Of course, those that are connected with our daily affairs: family, home, work, leisure, time and life in general.

Words and expressions that cannot be translated

Why study translation? To then . .. do without translation. At a good level of proficiency in a foreign language, you can not select equivalents in your mind, but immediately retrieve words, expressions and their meaning from memory. This skill facilitates communication, because many expressions cannot be literally translated at all (both from English into Russian, and vice versa).

That is why teaching a literary translator or simultaneous interpreter is different from teaching students who need language to communicate. nine0633

How to understand each other if these words and expressions cannot be translated?

Where do untranslatable words and expressions come from?

Language is a reflection of the soul of an entire people. Not a single concept in the language can arise from nowhere - it is needed to name something. If there is any phenomenon, it will be named; if a phenomenon or object has appeared recently, a word from a foreign language can be borrowed for it. But if, for example, the British have something, but we do not have it, in Russian we will not be able to say about it. nine0003

Expressions are more complicated. Separately, all words can be understandable, but together they can be a mystery to the student. Phraseologisms appear on the basis of some images, and often even native speakers cannot explain them (if they have not studied this issue specifically).

Avoski are now worn all over the world, but it is impossible to explain the meaning of the word avos and how it is connected with the bag0653

Word in Russian

English word

Why is that?

Avos

Avos

Approximate translations - perhaps, maybe - do not reflect the whole essence of this word. It is very difficult to explain its meaning to a foreigner, so it sounds the same in English. nine0003

Not allowed

Impossible, forbidden, must not, should not, may not, no

The difference is that the English versions carry the meaning of the prohibition (impossible, forbidden, or there is a moral obligation not to do this). In Russian, this is a short and capacious expression of the impossibility of action without a reason.

Samovar, borsch, cabbage soup, kvass

Samovar, borshch, shchi, kvas

Nothing similar is prepared abroad (only in Russian restaurants).

Matryoshka

Matryoshka, nesting doll

The Russian name has entered the English language. But there is a second one that explains the meaning, because other peoples also have a similar toy. nine0003

Vulgarity

Poshlost

Pushkin could not find an analogue of the word vulgar in Russian, but it is this word that is closest to “vulgarity”: something ordinary, tasteless and at the same time catchy and claiming approval.

Pogrom

nine0002 Pogrom

Jewish pogroms took place in the southern provinces of the Russian Empire at the end of the 19th century: in Chisinau, Odessa. Since there were no similar episodes in other countries, the word appeared in foreign newspapers and appeared in the future without translation.

Perestroika, Glasnost

Perestroyka, glasnost

nine0653

Similar words - democracy, freedom of speech, reforms - roughly reflected the essence of what was happening in the late 80s in the USSR. But words without translation carried a much deeper emotional connotation.

Security forces

Siloviki

This word appeared in the foreign press (that's right, in the plural) in the 2000s in order to briefly and succinctly designate the cumbersome concept of "representatives of law enforcement agencies." Not used in the singular. nine0003

The word pogrom in a Canadian newspaper

An example of expressions

We have already given examples of phraseological units that are based on a clear image. But sometimes they are transformed in such a way that it is no longer possible to understand the origin. In addition, there are simply set expressions, including colloquial ones, that do not carry any image.

nine0653

How to say it in English

In Russian	Why is it untranslatable
No, I don't know	Well, may be not, I don't know	Consent, refusal and doubt in one phrase.
Wow! nine0656	Wow!	If you translate in parts, it will turn out incomprehensibly: why is nothing for yourself, but together it expresses surprise?
I'm purple	I don't care	Why is purple all the same? Although in English blue is sad, sad ... nine0656
Eat to drink?	Is there something to drink?	Confusion with the verb eat (eat).
