kontroverzno vprašanje
Definition from
own experience or research:
Besede "kontroverzen" sicer ne najdemo v SSKJ, je pa v Verbinčevem Slovarju tujk. Zasledimo jo tudi v časopisih. Menim, da je mogoč tudi prevod "sporno vprašanje", vendar se mi zdi, da se izgubi določen odtenek.
Example sentences:
Podobno kontroverzno vprašanje, vsaj v Sloveniji, je pokojninska reforma. Zakaj OECD sodi, da smo na tem področju storili premalo? (delo.si)
