For example "dovolno" - comes from word "dovolstvo" ("happiness")
And word "dostatochno" - comes from word "dostatok" ("prosperity")
The DO- prefix is roughly equivalent to English FOR/TO/UNTIL (as in Do svidanya), isn't it ?

Sandro:

I am holding off to go and share seeing it as firsts for all of us.  I have heard nothing but great reviews.  Even from friends that yogurt has more culture than.  Thank you though, it just opened and think they will be here with a month to spare at least.
Sooner than later I will go to the Milan Opera house, that is the end all be all for Opera houses. 

That did just make me think of something.  How close is the Odessa Opera house after the renovations to Milan?  Any chance you been to both Sandro?

Not to Odessa's, actually a younger theater than ours which has a less troubled history of destructions and renovations:
Quote
A fire destroyed the previous theatre, the ancient Teatro Ducale, on 25 February 1776, after a carnival gala. A group of ninety wealthy Milanese, who owned palchi (private boxes) in the theatre, wrote to Archduke Ferdinand I of Austria asking for a new theatre and a provisional one to be used while completing the new one. The neoclassical architect Giuseppe Piermarini produced an initial design but it was rejected by Count Firmian (the governor of the then Austrian Lombardy).

A second plan was accepted in 1776 by Empress Maria Theresa. The new theatre was built on the former location of the church of Santa Maria della Scala, from which the theatre gets its name. The church was deconsecrated and demolished, and over a period of two years the theater was completed by Pietro Marliani, Pietro Nosetti and Antonio and Giuseppe Fe. This theatre had a total over 3,000 seats organized into 678 pit-stalls, arranged in six tiers of boxes above which is the 'loggione' or two galleries. Now the stage is one of the largest in Italy (16.15m d x 20.4m w x 26m h).

I went to La Scala after they completed the 2002-2004 renovations, and while Swiss Architect Piero Botta did a good job of preserving the interiors, altering almost nothing and using materials as far as possible close to the original ones, he rather ruined the skyline with that round 'technical' building in the left background, which is fortunately unlit at night (the photo below was taken at the inauguration ceremony). Admittedly, he had a rather tough job on his hands with little extra space available around the theatre (located in the very heart of Milan), and the people working there are happy with the new, more spacious accomodations, so all in all we shouldn't complain about the result ;).

Actually " dovolstvo" comes from "dovolno", and dovolno comes from доволи - dovoli (also old Slavic dovol' - доволь)  that is formed from prefix "do" - till, untill and noun "volya" воля - will, wis until a wish is satisfied.

"dostatok" and "dostatochno" comes from verb dostavat' доставать - to get

The verb доставать dostavat' is formed from prefix "do" and verb stavat' - ставать

The love bug that destroys paint on cars is actually not even native along with the fire ant.


The love bugs are "dostacha" ( informal word that means bother or pain in the neck), but at least they don't bite. One day I stepped on fire ant pile...

Yes, if to dig to the beginning of creating the words in Russian language.
The principle which I described was just to show there is no difference in usage of words "enough", just the way of creating the words.  ;)

Yes if it is complicated word based from two/free words and their meanings...

It was the Florida Gators that had the lovebugs get loose.
