Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the characteristics of the most frequent words and expressions in Rusyn-language media in Slovakia, which are used by editors of print and internet media in the wrong context, or are incomprehensible to the Rusyn population; the confusion stemming from the phenomenon of cross-linguistic homonymy. As part of the above issue, the author offers suggestions for the translations of selected disputed expressions in an administrative style. Due to the absence of a dictionary of synonyms of the Rusyn language, the paper offers alternatives that can also serve as a basis for elaboration in a future dictionary of synonyms.
