Q

Враг

A

Foe

Dictionary says that foe = enemy. But then if I recall all the instances, ‘foe’ is the word used in journalism, news or more politically where ‘enemy’ would be considered rude or offensive. So, ‘foe’ is a polite way to say ‘enemy’!Note that the dictionary mentions ‘foe’ as an old-fashioned or formal term.The word ‘adversary’ does mean ‘enemy’ but it also means an opponent that does not necessarily be your enemy; so is with rival which also means someone who competes.To conclude, use these words carefully. They are not always interchangeable
