Traps and common mistakes

Обсуждать or дискутировать?

дискутировать

«дискутировать» ≠ discuss: it means to debate formally

Don't confuse «обсуждать» and «дискутировать»: обсуждать is to talk something over, while дискутировать is a bookish word for debating with arguments.

Обсуждать о плане or обсуждать план?

обсуждать план

обсуждать план = discuss the plan, no «о»

Let's discuss your idea tonight.
