English term or phrase: county
Referring to the administrative unit in USA, not UK. It is certainly not "grafstvo". What is the standard translation?

Clarification request(s) and response
Tatiana Yudovina (asker): 10:35am Jul 20, 2004: Okrug? -
Martinique: 10:47am Jul 20, 2004: Вот тут была интересная дискуссия на эту тему: http://trworkshop.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15130&highlight=... -
Tatiana Yudovina (asker): 6:11pm Jul 20, 2004: Problem: - Thanks to all, but how do I grade it now? All 4 responded at the same time with the same answer? Can I award points to all?
Natalya Zelikova: 6:15pm Jul 20, 2004: Levan Namoradze was the first one. He was moved down after adding a note to his answer. -
Levan Namoradze: 7:13pm Jul 20, 2004: Thanks Nash. I do not think that that could be a problem. I am not an angel at all, but the most important is that we helped Tatiana. So, no probs. :-) -
Tatiana Yudovina (asker): 7:48pm Jul 21, 2004: Thank you, Translatonator - No one suggested it, probably, because I mentioned this option in the question. Both "okrug" and "graphstvo" are used in press and on the Internet. I personally prefer okrug. Thank you for the response.
Tatiana Yudovina (asker): 7:52pm Jul 21, 2004: Thanks, Martinique - Check out the link suggested by Martinique.

neutral Kevin Kelly: This is how it is usually translated, but the question arises: Why is the District of Columbia (which is definitely NOT a county) called "okrug"?
