IT IS ESSENTIAL

[anglychanin.livejournal.com]

We say in English "It is essential ....".

It means compulsory, very necessary, urgent, there is no choice etc.

"It is essential we warn the driver, otherwise the train will hit the car which is on the railway track".

"It is essential that this man has an operation; if not, he'll die".

How do you express this in Russian, please ?

ЗНАМЕНИТЫЙ - ИЗВЕСТНЫЙ

Hi!
How would you explain the difference in usage of "ИЗВЕСТНЫЙ" and "ЗНАМЕНИТЫЙ"?
I've just saw a mistake in a text and not sure how to explain it:
Самое знаменитое произведение о Вечном Жиде - роман Эжена Сю...
Thank you!
