- The word награ́да shares the same root as the verb награди́ть, which can also mean 'to endow' or 'to bless' someone with a particular trait or talent.
- The word пре́мия is frequently used in Russian to describe a standard year-end bonus at a workplace, rather than just a special prize for an achievement.
