coup

Esimerkkilauseet

The coup has led to a further escalation of violence.

My group believes that we should strongly condemn this coup.

A coup in democratic guise, and foreign public opinion must not be fooled.

It was quite clear after talks that a coup was imminent.

There is, in fact, a risk of a military coup in the future.

hit

Esimerkkilauseet

This is where we hit a major problem.

17636 It is therefore women who have been hardest hit.

This is the first time that floods have hit our département.

The beef and veal sector has been doubly hit by disaster.

It is true that pigfarmers have been hit by an historic slump in prices.

smack

strike

Esimerkkilauseet

We must strike a balance between them.

No doubt they strike a happy medium.

I should like finally to strike a biblical note.

Twelve political prisoners dead from hunger strike.

We need always to strike the right balance.

blow

Esimerkkilauseet

This is a blow that they just cannot cope with.

One bad news story may blow confidence in e - trade for years.

This new authority will not strike a blow for freedom in terms of consumer policy.

People 's faith in the rule of law and political power has been dealt a sharp blow.

The environmental organisations may be regarded as acting as blow lamps on us politicians.

knock

Esimerkkilauseet

It has a knock - on effect.

We learn from our knock - backs, albeit with some delay.

It has a knock - on effect in other areas, especially where there are shared coastlines.

This has a knock - on effect on other companies as well.

These environmental problems have a knock - on effect beyond coastal regions to inland regions.

whack

beat

Esimerkkilauseet

Let us not beat about the bush.

We cannot continue to beat about the bush.

I will not beat about the bush: animals are animals and people are people.

kind

Esimerkkilauseet

Tasks of that kind do exist.

We repudiate that kind of intolerance.

Nothing of the kind has happened, however.

We will commission a study of this kind.

This kind of thing is always happening.

punch

race

Esimerkkilauseet

Independent workers are not another race.

This report would undermine rather than improve race relations.

I believe we are caught up in a race against the clock.

Sustainable peace cannot be created if half the human race is ignored.

It is of fundamental importance that we should oppose the arms race.

shock

Esimerkkilauseet

What followed was to shock the world.

What a psychological shock, what a cause for concern to the self - righteous.

These are figures that still shock us even though are they well known.

People who make use of the free movement of persons are brought down to earth with a shock.

It is perhaps difficult to know who is going to provide the salutary shock, and when.

slap

warbling

accent

Esimerkkilauseet

Another important feature of your approach is the accent which you put on cooperation and dialogue.

bang

buffet

chop

clout

Esimerkkilauseet

It has the biggest internal market, it has economic clout, it can plan economic cooperation.

concussion

crack

Esimerkkilauseet

We should be able to crack this one.

As social democrats, we feel that sustainable energy must be given a fair crack of the whip.

We are trying to crack the code of protective rights for the companies but it is not easy.

That was the case a century ago, and although there was a crack down, it is now back in full force.

The first one is to crack down on the smuggling of human beings as an element of organised crime.

cuff

impact

Esimerkkilauseet

Lastly, environmental impact.

We wanted an impact study.

But this decision has also a bigger impact.

This piece of legislation will have a dramatic impact.

The greenhouse effect and deforestation also have a considerable impact.

lunge

pound

Esimerkkilauseet

I had to work out for myself what the cost per pound or kilo was.

One might well wonder if it is a question here of being penny wise and pound foolish.

Formerly, speculation on the exchange market involved the pound.

slash

stroke

Esimerkkilauseet

We must no longer accept this as a stroke of fate but must do something about it.
