COME or COME and other verbs that we doubt

To illuminate means to make light, to direct light, or to expound or interpret something. It is written with the letter “e” in the middle of the verb (connected in meaning with the word “light”).

This correspondent will cover the events.

To sanctify means “to perform a church ceremony to impart holiness.” It is written with the letter “I” at the root of the verb (it has a semantic connection with the word “sanctify”).

Parishioners came to the church to bless Easter cakes and eggs.

Having selected a test word, we will choose “illuminate” or “sanctify” with the letter “e” or “ya” in the root, depending on the meaning of the context.

By placing emphasis, we make sure that these words sound exactly the same:

• illuminate [a s v' and sch' a t']
• to sanctify [a with v' and sh' a t']

When pronounced in both words, the vowel of the suffix is ​​emphasized:

• illuminate - prefix/root/suffix/ending
• consecrate - prefix/root/suffix/ending

The problem is writing the unstressed vowel at the root of these verbs. To write them correctly, let's look for a test word.

How to write correctly: “illuminate” or “sanctify”?

Many people make mistakes in writing an unstressed vowel at the root of the verbs “illuminate” or “sanctify.” These two words are pronounced the same in colloquial speech, which makes it difficult to choose the vowel "e" or "ya" in writing. Often lexemes are mistakenly replaced with each other. Let's turn to the spelling rules of the Russian language in order to forever understand the correct spelling.

MEASURE or MEASURE?

MEASUREMENT of clothes and, for example, the length and width of a tabletop is preferable to MEASUREMENT. The first word is general literary, stylistically neutral, and the second is acceptable, but belongs to colloquial speech. Some linguists consider the verbs “measure” and “measure” to be completely colloquial.

Important! Do not confuse “try on” (that is, measure) and “reconcile” (settle the conflict, lead to peace).

I TRIED on the dress, and now I TRY on the sandals. I love trying on summer new clothes - it reconciles me with the gloomy, not yet hot weather.

Use of the word "illuminate"

It is known that the verb “illuminate” is used in two main lexical meanings:

1. “To make light, to provide light with the help of rays, to direct light.”
2. "trans. To interpret something, to inform, to tell about something.”

You can check the word “illuminate” using the related noun “light.” Let us point out the alternation of consonants “t” - “sch” in the root. This means that in the lexeme in question we will write the vowel “e”.

Incorrect spelling of the words “illuminate” and “sanctify”

Both "illuminate" and "sanctify" may not follow spelling rules if used in the wrong context.

From the above it follows that the two verbs considered “illuminate” and “sanctify” are correct.

Despite this, people often use one verb instead of another, which makes the writing incorrect. To avoid mistakes in writing, you must first study the context. You also need to know the lexical meaning of each word separately. In case of difficulty, it is better to consult a dictionary.

Why consecrate housing?

In the life of a Christian, ideally all events are sanctified. After birth, the baby receives the Sacrament of Baptism. Then he cleanses his conscience in the Sacrament of Repentance and is sanctified through the reception of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. When entering into marriage, the spouses accept the Sacrament of Marriage. Every evening and morning a Christian prays and reads the Gospel.

The death of a person is also accompanied by prayer. And after death, his soul continues to be remembered in the temple. Moreover, the house in which he spends his free time must be consecrated with a special rite.

Consecrating a house protects it from demonic influences, slander from evil people, and accidents. Angels settle in a consecrated dwelling if the residents lead a pious lifestyle (they pray morning and evening, read the Holy Scriptures, avoid quarrels).

Some people ask to consecrate their home in order to get rid of unclean spirits that bother people (the so-called “poltergeists”). There have been cases when residents suffered from ghosts that demons pretend to be. After consecration, all these strange phenomena, of course, disappear.

WASHINGTON, November 13 – RIA Novosti. The largest US intelligence agency, the National Security Agency, found itself in crisis after hackers in 2022 stole a series of malware used by the NSA to penetrate devices and networks around the world, the New York Times writes.

The hacker group Shadow Brokers has published the code for a number of tools stolen from the NSA. This code was then used to create viruses that caused great damage around the world. The hack has still not been solved. The NSA has not officially stated the situation, but the New York Times considers it completely proven that the stolen cyber weapons originate from the bowels of the agency. The publication received confirmation from NSA employees.

Current and former officials at the agency say the Shadow Brokers revelations, which began in 2022, have had disastrous consequences for the NSA, calling into question its ability to protect powerful cyber weapons and the agency's overall value to national security. The agency, which is considered a world leader in hacking computer networks of opponents, was unable to protect its own networks,” the newspaper writes.

The publication notes that the theft of documents is comparable to “an earthquake that shook the NSA to its core.” It is assumed that the damage from Shadow Brokers could be much higher than from the revelations of ex-CIA and NSA employee Edward Snowden, since Snowden revealed the name of the mass surveillance programs, and current hackers posted the code of the programs and thereby allowed them to be used by third parties.

According to the New York Times, US intelligence agencies cannot even determine whether the leak is the work of an employee or the result of a theft, or both. Large-scale personnel checks are underway. “At the agency's headquarters in Maryland and in offices across the country, NSA employees are subjected to lie detector tests and suspended in search of 'werewolves' associated with the Shadow Brokers. Much of the agency's arsenal is being changed, which hinders operations. Morale has fallen and experienced professionals are leaving the agency for better-paying jobs, including firms that protect computer networks from intrusions using NSA tools,” the newspaper writes. Since 2015, three agency employees have been arrested for data theft, but it is unclear whether this has led to practical improvements for the NSA, the publication notes.

Former NSA hacker employee Jake Williams, whose name and place of work was also revealed by hackers, called what was happening a “multi-level disaster.”

At the same time, the counterintelligence division of the NSA and the FBI have not established in 15 months of investigation who may be involved in the hack. One of the main suspects remains Russia, which has repeatedly denied accusations of hacking by American intelligence agencies, the newspaper writes. The newspaper did not provide any evidence that Russia could be involved in the hack. She only mentioned that Russia was one of the first to “figure out” the hacker division of the NSA and put protection on its software against NSA hacking tools, thereby “reducing the flow of intelligence information.” In 2022, the US administration banned the use of Kaspersky products on federal government computers.

Ex-NSA employee Williams confirmed to the newspaper that no suspects in the hacks could be found. “The entire (U.S.) law enforcement and intelligence system is after them, and they still haven’t been caught,” Williams said.

Media coverage or sanctification

Rite of Consecration

Without divine blessing and the help of the Creator, nothing truly valuable and truthful will happen in a person’s life.

• Before starting the construction of an ordinary house, it is necessary to lay a cross at its foundation, and install holy images inside the room, which notify about the presence of the Lord and His saints here. It is allowed to conduct all church rituals in the home, except for the Liturgy and priesthood rites.
• For the ritual, special prayer services have existed since ancient times. The Trebnik indicates the ranks: for “foundation” and protection from evil spirits. Before the consecration itself, a small blessing of water is used, supplemented by the use of oil, a cross, candles and the Gospel.
• A cross is depicted on each wall of the home, designed to become protection against the penetration of evil forces and enemies. During the ritual, the Church inspires Christians, saying that living in a consecrated house will henceforth be under the protection of the Almighty.

  
  Priests have the right to consecrate a house

• Afterwards a troparion is sung, telling the story of the Messiah’s entry into the house of Zacchaeus. Christ granted salvation to both the owner and all his relatives. In a similar way, during the ritual, servants of the Son of God and powerful Guardian Angels enter the house, protecting the peace of an honest Christian.
• The priests performing the ritual humbly ask the Lord to grant the dwelling blessings and health to the living. The priest continues to praise Christ and the Omnipotence of the Father. In addition, he reads a secret prayer (not out loud) and asks for divine protection. The priest calls in his prayers the Guardian Angels, as well as the Monk Cyprian, who managed to defeat the demonic obsession with the help of faith.
• Next, the priest makes the sign of the cross over the oil three times, this helps drive out satanic slander. The priest sprinkles holy water on all the walls of the home, driving away demonic influence.
• He smears with oil those places where crosses had already been drawn, which are the protection and sign of the victory of virtue. Guardian angels present at the ritual sing prayers and ask God for abundance in this house and the granting of heavenly blessings. Before the inscription, church candles are lit next to the crosses.
• Next, the priest reads sacred instructions on how a Christian should behave in a newly consecrated house. Every believer must follow the commandment of King David and follow the path of life in the integrity of his own heart.
• At the end of the ritual, a litany is pronounced, where the priest prays to the Lord to send the residents a powerful Guardian Angel, who has the power to remove all sorts of troubles from the house.

Conjugation of the verb "to sanctify"

The word “sanctify” is an imperfective intransitive verb. Let's see how to conjugate it correctly below:

Example sentences

The following sentences will help you determine when to use “sanctify”:

1. On holidays, clergy always came to us to bless our apartment.
2. Many Russians come to the temple to bless the water, and some ask to sprinkle holy water on a car, mobile phone, or even a school diary.
3. Priests call for consecrating church holidays with good deeds and thoughts.

9. Many churches were going to consecrate this ancient icon.
10. Residents did not know that the chapel near the square would be consecrated only in a month.

People's choice or appointee?

Regarding the future of the heads, experts are not so harsh, since it is already clear that there will still be a representative of the executive branch in the village - as an appointee from the district administration.

The main debate here is around electability. For example, Andrei Krivov is sure that “there is a difference between the elected head and a municipal employee, even if he conscientiously sits still all day.” He gives the example of the Khmelevsky village council, where the head was able to solve the problem of a burnt-out pump in just 24 hours and return water supply to the residents, because she understood that they had chosen her and she was responsible to them.

“What will happen to the official? In the evening, residents will come running to the administration representative and say that the pump has burned out. And he will answer that, yes, the situation is complicated, they will immediately inform the administration and after that he will calmly go home. Maybe I’m wrong,” Krivov suggested.

But, for example, both Svetlana Agarkova and Alexander Plasteev believe that in this case everything depends on the person, and not on the method of his election or appointment.

But the head of the Zalesovsky district is sure that the approach, in principle, should be different - the head of the village should not change the pump himself. A centralized utility service will work much more efficiently - everyone should mind their own business. “How is it going with us? The pump broke, the head called the utility company, and they replaced it,” he says.

And at the same time he emphasizes: if the popularly elected head of the settlement decides to do nothing and not react at all to the same burnt-out pump, then the population will not be able to do anything about it, since the procedure for removing such a manager is extremely complicated and involves holding a referendum.

“That is, such a head may not do a damn thing for five years. And if the head is appointed by deputies or, as in our case, he is an administration specialist, then even if he said this, he will not work tomorrow,” says Plasteev.

He believes that this year's municipal elections will show the inevitability of a transition to a one-tier system. Especially in light of the personnel shortage: “It is very difficult to find an adequate person for the post of head for a salary of 17-20 thousand.”

There are currently 632 heads of village councils in the Altai Territory, of which 153 will be re-elected in 2022.

Nail in the coffin: a bill on local self-government was discussed in Altai

Deputies of the regional branch of the party “A Just Russia – For Truth” expressed why the bill “On the General Principles of the Organization of Local Self-Government” is bad.

Orthodox Life

Easter, in the minds of most representatives of our people, is perhaps the most famous Christian holiday.

But this does not mean that everyone who knows about him are real Christians. Unfortunately, in modern realities we have to talk about “historical Christianity,” when most people associate themselves with Orthodoxy, but know practically nothing about it, and the information that is still contained in their heads often borders on blasphemy.

At the end of the night Easter service, an endless string begins to stretch, if we speak in the terms of canon law, of products that have “disappeared” with baskets, a significant part of which, of course, are Easter cakes and eggs, but the range of other dishes also amazes with their inexhaustible variety. It happens that even Christians sacralize them, believing that through the pastry and boiled egg sprinkled by the priest, some kind of transfer of sanctification occurs to a person, similar to the effects of holy water, oil, etc. Under quarantine conditions, any mass events are prohibited, the heads of the Uniates and schismatics said about the possibility of conducting the rite of “consecration” online, we understand the absurdity of such actions, so let’s figure out what to focus on and what to do in this case for us, Orthodox Christians.

The Colored Triodion does not even contain an order, but only two prayers that we need: “Bless the meat of the meat, on the holy and great Sunday of Easter” and “Bless the cheese and eggs.” Here we can also find a corresponding explanation: “Be aware: like a calico, meat and white, an offering, there is Passover, below is a lamb, like some people say, and they receive, and they partake of it with all fasting, like some holy thing, but a simple offering. It is not like this should be offered as a sacrifice to God, but only if those who begin fasting eat meat and cheese, the food offered by the priest through prayers will be blessed. Easter, for Christ Himself is the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, on the altars in a bloodless Sacrifice, in the most pure Mysteries, of the honorable Body, and in His life-giving Blood, offered from the priesthood to God and the Father, and to Him those who partake of the true Passover worthily eat the true Passover. And for this reason, these offerings, since they are not the essence of Easter, are not worthy of being brought into the altar or into the church, but outside the church, or in the vestibule, to be blessed with prayer.”

From this short text we can draw clear conclusions for everyone: 1. Easter does not come down to rolls, eggs and sausage, and accordingly, it is quite possible to do without them. 2. The essence of Easter is Christ Himself, the Lamb of God, sacrificed as a bloodless sacrifice at the Liturgy. 3. The one who truly celebrates Easter is not the one who blesses the food basket, but the one who partakes of the Body and Blood of the Lord. 4. The consecration of food is simply a blessing for breaking the fast for those who have observed fasting.

Now we can say with confidence that all those who do not receive communion at the service of the Bright Resurrection of Christ do not celebrate Easter (I am not talking here about Christians who are deprived of the opportunity to participate in the Sacrament for objective reasons). Also, the consecration of Easter cakes, eggs and other products makes sense only for everyone who fasted, and is absolutely meaningless for those who, both in Lent and on Easter days, limited themselves to this very consecration. The consecration itself, in its essence, is a simple blessing of food, which every Christian performs before breakfast, lunch or dinner.

One more nuance needs to be said here. In the mentioned prayers there are the following words: “May we, as we have been deemed worthy to enjoy Your goodness, let us all enjoy those sanctified by You and blessed as food for all of us”; “O Lord our God, creator and creator of all, bless the thickened milk, with it the eggs, and keep us in Thy goodness, as if they partook of them, Thy unconditionally bestowed gifts were used We embrace Your unspeakable goodness.” From this one may get the impression that those who eat consecrated food are awarded some kind of Divine gifts. But the logic of constructing prayers here is different - while tasting earthly things, we ask God not to deprive us of Heavenly things. The same idea is reflected in the prayer that is familiar to us all: “We thank You, Christ our God, for You have satisfied us with Your earthly blessings; do not deprive us of Your Heavenly Kingdom.”

Some might argue that we do not sprinkle food with holy water in our daily breakfasts, lunches and dinners. But this action is only one of the traditions. In some monasteries, whenever possible, holy water is added to every dish prepared for the Easter meal, and its remains are sent to feed livestock, while no one considers this to be trampling on the shrine or any other blasphemous act. Thus, bodily food is a means of maintaining physical strength, by using which we can perform spiritual work, for which we ask God for blessings, for which we thank Him.

I will also say separately about the consecration of meat. It also happened in history that some Christians treated meat as a bad product, so the Church, in order to counteract this situation, blesses it through a separate prayer. Here is what we can read in the “Slavic Helmsman” - a collection of church laws: “If any of the bishops or priests or deacons on the days of the Lord’s holidays does not eat meat or wine... let him erupt... because he exposes many people to temptation.” If someone, for the sake of heroism, does not eat meat at all, then the 14th rule of the Ancyra Council of 314 applies to such Christians, which reads: “Those who are members of the clergy, presbyters or deacons who abstain from meat are determined to eat them, and then, if they will want to refrain from doing so. If they do not desire this, so much so that they do not eat the vegetables accompanying the meat, and do not submit to this rule, let them be deposed from their rank.”

In conclusion, I would like to say that the feelings are quite understandable when we live and are saved in a Christian community, when we, together with our spiritual brothers and sisters, go to the best of our ability in the field of the Great, together we rejoice in the Risen Savior, together we receive Communion from the same Chalice, we embrace each other friend, we exclaim with enthusiasm “Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!”, then breaking the fast and sharing a meal becomes for us not just eating food, but an opportunity to continue this rejoicing in mutual communication. But be that as it may, all this is only a derivative joy from the Most Important Joy, and therefore, by and large, you can do without it.

If you answer the question posed directly, then you need to say: yes, you can consecrate Easter cakes and eggs yourself. Just don’t grab hold of holy water and sprinklers. The dishes are blessed with prayer, and it would not be a sin to read the prayers that I mentioned; fortunately, finding them on the Internet will not be difficult.

Change 2. Powers are different, money is the same

Local authorities will be assigned 27 of their own powers, and the region will also be able to transfer another 28 to them. For comparison: now there are 44 issues of local importance, says Krivov, while settlements have 13 powers. The region still transfers some issues to the local level.

The main issue here is financing. For municipalities it is a cornerstone. But the proposed reform does not provide for any radical steps to overcome the chronic shortage of funds at the local level.

Krivov points out: the number of issues for which the municipality may be responsible may increase, but the money will remain the same.

“If local powers were supported financially, then no reform would have to be undertaken. And the proposed changes do not solve this main issue, says Svetlana Agarkova. “If the same financial component remains under the same powers, then what difference does it make what level of government cannot cope with it?”

Previously, the initiators of the changes argued: the transition to a one-level system, that is, the abandonment of the settlement level of government will allow saving money on the maintenance of government bodies and using them for the development of territories.

However, Agarkova objects: there is nothing special to save, everything has already been optimized to the maximum a long time ago.

“You definitely can’t save much on the salaries that the heads receive today. For 2022, the average salary of a municipal employee in the region was about 19 thousand rubles. The heads have a maximum of 25-26 thousand - where the population is large. How much is this per year? Even if it’s 300 thousand rubles. What can be globally solved with this money in the region? For example, we were given a subsidy for the overhaul of internal municipal roads - 1.4 million rubles. With this money you can renovate 200 square meters. meters."

However, Plasteev says: the salaries of the heads are not the only expenses for maintaining the administrative and economic apparatus in the village. “Say, there is a head - he receives 17 thousand rubles, and a specialist at 0.75 rates - another 12 thousand. It seems like a little - 300-400 thousand rubles a year. But there is also a driver, three stokers, and a cleaning lady. You have to pay for internet and telephone. It runs up to 1.5-2 million. And often this is 60%, or even 80% of the budget of the settlement as a whole,” explains the head of the district.

That is, there is very little money left to carry out other issues. Different levels answer their own questions, but at the same time are connected by financial dependence.

“And this blurriness in the budget sector leads to situations like with buses,” Plasteev gives an example. “The region tells us: “We gave you buses.” But wait: we've been on a five-year road to destroying our municipal businesses. For the last 10 years we have been told: “Give everything to private owners.” It came to this that, for example, we have only one route left, and that one is unprofitable. And the carriers say: “Why do we need buses if it is clear from the beginning that we will operate at a loss?”

However, he is confident that the reform will precisely solve this issue: “When we line up in a single vertical with the regional and federal executive authorities, there will be no such blurriness. We must row with all our might in the same boat.”

But ideally, almost all speakers say, it is necessary to change fiscal policy in favor of local government.

But so far this is not provided for in the project. And, for example, Sergei Vanpilin, against this background, fears that after the transformations even the maintenance of the village administration building and the boiler house will be in question.

“What, in general, will remain in place? Today, in my village there is both a BTI and an MFC, and we are solving land issues. Will they be saved? Today, I have a post office, a telephone exchange, a police station, a pharmacy, and consumer services in my building. We maintain the room, heat it, light it. And if there is no village council, who will support it? No one. It will fall apart like all the cowsheds across the country. What will happen to the boiler room? And with the same access to the Internet? - the head laments.

To illuminate or to sanctify?

To illuminate means to make light, to direct light, or to expound or interpret something. It is written with the letter “e” in the middle of the verb (connected in meaning with the word “light”).

This correspondent will cover the events.

To sanctify means “to perform a church ceremony to impart holiness.” It is written with the letter “I” at the root of the verb (it has a semantic connection with the word “sanctify”).

Parishioners came to the church to bless Easter cakes and eggs.

Having selected a test word, we will choose “illuminate” or “sanctify” with the letter “e” or “ya” in the root, depending on the meaning of the context.

By placing emphasis, we make sure that these words sound exactly the same:

illuminate [a with v' and sh' a t']

consecrate [a with v' and sh' a t']

When pronounced in both words, the vowel of the suffix is ​​emphasized:

about svet a - prefix/root/suffix/ending

about sacred - prefix/root/suffix/ending

The problem is writing the unstressed vowel at the root of these verbs. To write them correctly, let's look for a test word.

Lay use of prayer

Despite the fact that a test of the Prayer for the sanctification of any thing is available on the pages of ordinary prayer books for parishioners, many of them doubt that reading it independently is permissible. Archpriest Dimitry Shushpanov is confident that the prayer published in literature for the laity can well be used by them.

However, Archpriest Viktor Guzenko compares the prayer for the consecration of any thing with a medicine that you can buy yourself or that a doctor can prescribe. According to the clergyman, the pills prescribed by the doctor will certainly be more effective. Therefore, it is better to entrust the consecration of various religious objects (crosses, icons, etc.), as well as dangerous things (for example, a car), to a church minister. At the same time, as the archpriest writes, parishioners can consecrate furniture, clothing and other similar items on their own.

Priest Dionisy Svechnikov believes that you should not waste your time on trifles and consecrate all purchased “socks, panties and bed linen.” According to Father Dionysius, it is quite enough to cross objects and then use them for their intended purpose.

Test word for the word “illuminate”

In Russian, unstressed vowels are usually stressed. For this purpose, you can either change the grammatical form of the word or select a test word among related lexemes so that the stress clarifies the dubious vowel.

The spelling of the letter “e” or “ya” at the root of the words in question can be chosen depending on the meaning of the context:

After these kind words, a smile began to illuminate his face.

The verb under study has a semantic connection with lighting:

1. cast rays of light, making something visible;
2. direct rays of light to look at someone or something;
3. trans. explain.

It will indicate the spelling of the letter “e” at the root of that verb. Let us note the root alternation of consonants t//sh.

Examples

You can walk here in the dark only if you light the road with a lantern.

Lighting the streets with electricity began not so long ago.

You have to cover these facts in a new way.

Who will cover the news from this perspective?

We distinguish this word from a consonant verb with a different lexical meaning and spelling.

DEVELOP or DEVELOP?

The logic of reasoning is the same as in the example above: let's look at the root! If we are talking about development, then the verb we need is DEVELOP. Like many cultural phenomena, fashion develops cyclically. If our gaze noted the beautiful play of the wind with any object, thing, then we write FLOW: the curls are fluttering in the wind, the flag is fluttering on the mast.

TRY or TRY?

Many are convinced that the verb TRY (TRY, TRIED) is written with Y, after all, there is a word for “trials”? However, this “y” is deceptive because it is the ending of a noun and not part of a verb suffix. This means that “samples” are not suitable as a test word.

There is another simple rule: if in the present or future tense the verb ends in -YU (-YUYU), then in the indefinite form and past tense the suffix -OVA- (-EVA-) is written.

I TRY the “Four Cheese” pizza - this cafe really praises it. I TRIED it at another pizzeria - I didn’t like it. We need to TRY somewhere else.

What is sanctification and why is it needed?

Consecration is a set of rites that are aimed at calling on God’s grace to this or that phenomenon or this or that material object. But simply, “sanctification is a blessing,” says Hieromonk Macarius (Markish). Priest Dimitri Lin claims that consecration is a ritual aimed at dedicating something or someone to the service of the Lord.

In connection with all of the above, many clergy warn the laity to consider consecration as some kind of magical rite. Hieromonk Victorin (Aseev) writes that sanctification is performed not for monetary acquisitions, but for the soul. According to Archpriest Igor Fomin, “the reverence and awe with which a person treats consecrated things” are part of his love for God.

No candidates found

At the same time, it is in the Altai Territory that there is a huge problem with rural deputies - there are a lot of them, more than 6 thousand people. And locally, the campaign has already faced the problem of an acute shortage of candidates.

Alexander Romanenko, speaker of the regional parliament and leader of the Altai United Russia party, spoke about this last year: he recalled that it was already difficult in the 2022 campaign, and by 2022 at least it had not improved. In his opinion, the transformation of at least some of the districts into districts could at least slightly relieve the severity.

Now in the Altai Territory, according to the charters of municipalities, there are 6,057 deputies, of which 5,701 actually work, the department of internal policy of the regional government told Tolk. In cities - 225 deputies (in fact - 216), in districts and the Zalesovsky district - 1,134 elected representatives (in fact - 1,080).

“My colleagues, heads of districts, are now in a difficult situation - by September they must find candidates for deputies of both district and rural representative bodies. And not one at a time, because it is necessary to ensure alternative elections! – says Plasteev. – And people, knowing that the deputy does not really have any financial leverage or any other, say: “Why would I go there? Clean the roads? I’m already cleaning.” The prospect of submitting declarations is also frightening.

PLACE or LIE?

The colloquial word “lay down” will not decorate the conversation and texts of a literate person. Don’t want to hear jokes about how a girl can leave the village, but the village can never leave the girl? Remember that the verb “to lay down” (and its forms “you lay down”, “you lay down”, “lay down”) does not exist - only PLACE. But the verbs “lie down”, “state”, “put down” and similar ones with prefixes and postfixes (-Сь, -СЯ, -TE at the end of words) are quite correct and literate, there are no restrictions on their use.

DO YOU PUT AN APPLE IN YOUR BAG? PUT in a cereal bar too - tomorrow they wanted to close the canteen for inventory. And let's take coffee in a thermos - you can't RELY on Masha for this, she'll forget.

Right

To illuminate means to make light, to direct rays of light, or in a figurative sense - to expound, interpret something. It is written with an “e” in the middle of the verb (derived from the word “light”). We need to illuminate the facade of the building This problem needs to be covered in the media He will illuminate our way with a powerful spotlight The stadium lights illuminated the football field I will cover this problem on my blog A joyful smile illuminated her face This event was covered by all TV channels

To consecrate means a church ceremony to impart holiness, used only in this context. It is written with the letter “I” in the middle of the verb (derived from the word “to sanctify”). Mom went to bless the Easter cake. Parishioners want to bless the icon. Before the housewarming, many people bless the apartment. Father blessed our new car. We blessed the water for baptism.

Use of the word sanctified

Just like illuminated , this word is a passive participle. However, this is where the similarities end. This participle comes from the verb “to sanctify,” that is, “to give holiness.”

It is the noun “holiness”, where the letter I is stressed, that acts as a test word for sanctified . That is, if we are talking not about light, but about religion, a religious ritual, then only in this - and in no other! – in the sense of sanctified we write through I:

• consecrated room - a room over which the rite of consecration took place;
• blessed car - a car that has been blessed by a clergyman.

Example sentences
