SUIT, SUITESuit [sju:t] и suite [swi:t] сближаются в значении 'набор, комплект', однако имеют строго разграниченную сферу употребления. Suit обозначает совокупность предметов одежды: suit of clothes 'мужской костюм', suit of armour 'доспехи'. Suite может обозначать комплект мебели: suite of chairs, bedroom suite 'гарнитур мебели для спальни'. Suite имеет также значение 'ряд комнат, выходящих одна в другую': suite of rooms. Для русских учащихся suite представляет дополнительную трудность, так как соответствует двум русским словам, сходным с ним по форме – сюита и свита: suite of Mozart и suite of a king.Difficulties of the English language (lexical reference) English-Russian dictionary > suit
