Reading this sub makes me depressed that I will never be able do learn this language. I seriously feel stupid that others are able to do this. How on earth do you know all the spellings of the cases, let alone when to use them? 😪
My family is from Odesa and I am the first US born potentially in my whole family tree. My grandfather was a huge activist and protested for the separation of Ukraine from the USSR. Recently my grandfather passed away and I was going through some pictures and I came across some of his protest pictures and I found this symbol. I tried Google Translating the word but I think it’s an acronym (РУХ?) and I can symbolically understand the picture I think. The picture looks like wheat, from Ukrainian farms, breaking through a barrier signifying the freedom of Ukraine from ruzzian authoritarianism. Does anyone know what the letters mean and if I am right about the picture?
Thank you, Слава Україні!

Tl;dr retours d'expériences d'hommes avec femmes de l'est Mon ex M37 sort avec une ukrainienne F39et elle a l'air mega possessive et je ne comprends pas qu'il reste avec alors qu'elle a des attitudes problématiques (appelle non stop quand il n'est pas là illico à venir la retrouver,me stlake à moi, le colle à un degré inimaginable, à l'air de faire la gueule, a l'air très égoïste voir méchante avec ses enfants ..) des retours d'expériences? Ca m'intéresse de savoir si d'autres hommes ont eu du mal à quitter des femmes de l'est et si oui pourquoi? Car je sens qu'il essaie de ne pas s'isoler trop avec elle mais il ne la quitte pas alors qu'elle ne travaille pas lui ramène ses gosses et je sais qud c'est un problème aussi le côté sensue pour lui... donc je ne comprends pas
TL;DR: Experiences of men with Eastern European women.
My ex (M37) is dating a Ukrainian woman (F39). She seems incredibly possessive, and I don't understand why he stays with her given her problematic behavior (calling non-stop when he's away and demanding he come back immediately, stalking me, clinging to him to an unimaginable degree, acting sulky, and seeming very selfish—or even mean—towards her children). Any experiences to share? I’m curious if other men have struggled to leave Eastern European women, and if so, why? I get the sense he’s trying not to let her isolate him completely, yet he won't leave her—even though she doesn't work and has brought her kids into the mix. I also know the sexual aspect is a factor for him... so I just don't get it.

Hi everyone! I am a native Ukrainian speaker and I want to practice and improve my English. I am really into electronics, Linux, and tech in general.

There's a passage in this novel describing a predatory Jewish pawnbroker called Gedalye who the Ukrainian peasants hate and they curse him by saying:
“A shob na tebe Gedalye napav!..”
Any idea what it means? Thanks 🙏🏻
I work in a pharmacy with a quite large Ukrainian population, some of which don't speak English well or at all, which makes communicating with them about their medications very difficult. Are there any resources out there that would help me out with this field particularly. I should also add I am learning Ukrainian in general, but I feel like this would be super helpful
Hi, currently I live in Canada and I want to visit Ukraine soon. I think it would be right to learn the language first. Wish me good luck! Slava Ukraini
Hello everyone! As a native Ukrainian speaker and tutor, I often see my students getting absolutely bamboozled by literal translations.
Recently, one of my students was listening to the brilliant song by Schmalgauzen — "Твій біль" and got completely confused by the third line: "А може з мене вийдуть люди..."
Their literal translation was: "Or maybe people will come out of me?" (Sounds like a scene from Alien, right?).
Of course, it’s not about cloning or sci-fi childbirth. It’s a classic Ukrainian idiom!
Here is the breakdown of this and 3 other funny idioms that confuse learners:
1. З когось вийдуть люди (People will come out of someone)
Literal meaning: People will exit someone.
Actual meaning: To make something of oneself / to turn out to be a decent, successful, and respected person in society. In the song, the author is self-deprecatingly hoping he'll turn out fine in the end.
2. Взяти себе в руки (To take oneself into one's own hands)
Literal meaning: Physically picking yourself up.
Actual meaning: To pull oneself together, to regain self-control. (Equivalent to "get a grip").
3. Зуби з'їсти на чомусь (To eat teeth on something)
Literal meaning: Having a weird dental diet.
Actual meaning: To have tons of experience in something, to know something inside out. (Like "to know the ropes").
4. Робити з мухи слона (To make an elephant out of a fly)
Literal meaning: High-level genetic engineering.
Actual meaning: To blow things out of proportion / to make a mountain out of a molehill.
💡 Want to learn more real, lively Ukrainian without boring textbook torture?
I am a certified language teacher from Ukraine, and I’m currently opening 2 slots for new students (from absolute beginners to advanced )
If you want to feel confident speaking and finally understand what Ukrainians mean when they "eat teeth" on things, write me.
What is your favorite weird Ukrainian idiom so far? Let me know in the comments!
I checked all the previous posts on this subject but got nowhere. I'd like to watch international shows like House MD or Simpsons in Ukrainian with english subs, possibly for free. I tried the SimpsonUA website but I need to be in Ukraine for it to work and I don't have a VPN that allows me to connect there. You can DM me links to websites that... "sail the seven seas"
thank you very much
Can anyone help me identify this song? Thank you!
