Usage notes
The English adjective soviet is usually translated as neuvosto- or Neuvostoliiton, when it is used as an attribute (modifies the noun right after it):
- neuvostokansalainen = soviet citizen
When the adjective "soviet" appears as predicative, it can practically never be translated as neuvosto. Terms like neuvostomielinen, neuvostohenkinen, neuvostoliittolainen should be used instead.
- Neuvostoliiton hallitus ei ole enää kovin neuvostomielinen, eikä sen puoleen kovin paljon hallituskaan.
- The Soviet government is not very soviet anymore or, for that matter, much of a government.
Synonyms
- (council): lautakunta, raati
