- столе has the stress on the last syllable
- the final ь in бюллетень is not a separate sound; it softens the final н
What exactly does бюллетень mean?
It can mean bulletin, report, or ballot paper, depending on context.
So this noun is a little broader than a single English word. In many everyday contexts:
- избирательный бюллетень = ballot paper
- информационный бюллетень = bulletin / newsletter
If your translation already gives one meaning, that is the meaning intended here, but it is good to know the word itself can be used in more than one way.
