Well, well... I've been absent from this blog for too long :( Not that I stopped learning English words, it's just that all of them are connected with Math, and it's no use giving definitions in English. Besides, I don't think anyone except myself is interested in learning Math terminology.
But I need to post someting... so I'll gather all the words I've been learning recently without definitions.
Here we go:
contraction
refinement
incompatible
(non-)adjacent
distinct
pairwise
to denote
to be inferior to, to yield to
to be uniquely determined
to retain
residual
to constitute
saturation
to traverse
hence

to unravel = 1) to undo or untangle (something tangled or knotted)
2) to explain or solve
I think it sounds really good: "I will unravel this mystery"

Here is another interesting word I've learned recently:
to elope = to run away with intention of getting married
According to Wikipedia, "Today the term "elopement" is colloquially used for any marriage performed in haste or in secret with no guests; it is even sometimes used for well-attended and elaborately-planned marriages which occur away from home."
I think it's really interesting: there's no such word in Russan, for example.
If I ever get married, I'll make my wedding an elopement in some sense :)
