към molinaba И аз стигнах до същите изводи.
Alpha-Beta Jan 13, 2011:
Oversupply според мен е 'свръх-предлагане' и 'предлагам повече от необходимото' (на пазара). Възможно е да се използва и в друг контекст, но аз лично не можах да открия примери из Нета.
Alpha-Beta Jan 13, 2011:
Според мен 'hoard' e "запасявам се, трупам запаси", което е различно от "презапасявам се, трупам запаси в излишък".

There were times when it was useful to have extra provisions, but we found ourselves overstocked on food.

Sachi and I overstocked on food and drinks, even not counting the good amount of goodies brought by guests; we still have quite the stockpile left in the fridge, despite the many courses served throughout the evening.

Peer comment(s):

agree Ivan Klyunchev : Има го в PONS Business English. Webster: intransitive verb : to stock in excess of needs or facilities. Разграничението между преходен и непреходен глагол (какъвто е българският) също има значение на английски.
