motif

room

Esimerkkilauseet

There is room for improvement.

There is no room for amendments.

There is still room for improvement.

However there is always room for improvement.

However, we must also have room for manoeuvre.

subject

Esimerkkilauseet

Parliament is a separate subject.

It is a sensitive subject.

This is a complicated subject.

This subject is incredibly involved.

This is a most important subject.

theme

Esimerkkilauseet

Another theme is decision making.

It has been a recurrent theme.

Environmental standards will be a recurring theme.

This is a theme continued from the past.

We will revisit this theme at a later stage.

title

Esimerkkilauseet

Stem cell research would be a less tendentious title.

But they are not there in the title.

I rather regret that the title only refers to food safety.

That is why our committee strongly supported the change of title.

The report does not contain what the title promises.

motive

Esimerkkilauseet

The profit motive is also something completely natural and sensible.

A racist motive is suspected and further inquiries are being made in that direction.

We should all recall that the primary motive of organised crime is financial gain.

The primary motive of much organised crime is financial crime.

The profit motive is very much behind the present food safety crises.

topic

Esimerkkilauseet

4678 This is a very important topic.

This is today's topic of discussion.

But now to the topic itself.

Tomorrow's agenda includes the topic of human cloning.

We could talk about this topic ad infinitum.

argument

Esimerkkilauseet

30631 He refuted a deadly argument.

This argument is therefore not relevant.

I think the argument is completely unacceptable.

Surely, this cannot be the argument.

This argument is the least unacceptable.

cause

Esimerkkilauseet

It is therefore a good cause.

This is a cause for concern.

7783 This will cause some irritation.

This should be a cause for panic.

This was a cause for great concern.

matter

Esimerkkilauseet

So this is not a matter of principle but a matter of the formal place for this specific proposal.

Everybody supports this matter.

Borders are a sensitive matter.

This is an important matter.

Road safety is a serious matter.

occasion

Esimerkkilauseet

It is indeed an historic occasion.

38705 I will do so on another occasion.

Speed on this occasion is of the essence.

We must, therefore, move forward on this occasion.

However, we have a lot of amendments on this occasion.

occassion

pattern

Esimerkkilauseet

The pattern of intimidation is clear.

44769 There appears to be a pattern.

Our pattern of development is in question.

The pattern is familiar from cooperation on issues of legal policy.

We need to change our pattern of thought right across the board.

reason

Esimerkkilauseet

Insanity prevailed over reason.

A second reason is security.

I also abstained for another reason.

Secondly, there is a political reason.

The reason is quite obvious.
