r/Ukrainian

After the war a lot of them started to speak mainly Ukrainian. How did it affect the language?

[English > Ukrainian] is there a direct translation for the phrase “little by little”, or something that has a similar meaning? Thanks in advance

Hi, i was wondering if anyone has any underrated recommendations of ukrainian cossack fiction books that have a similar philosophical depth to “musashi”(or the manga based on it), that are not the obvious picks like “чорна рада».

Ive made a list of books that could be interesting potentially but haven’t read any of them yet, so if anyone did read them it would be great to hear your thoughts.

I want something that isn’t an idealized heroic nationalist depiction, but something beyond that.

Here’s the list that i mentioned:
Cossack literature list:
Василь шевчук Око прірви, Мор
Григорій бабенко Шляхом бурхливим
Юрій мушкетник, на брата брат, Яса,
Роман іванчук Мальви, Орда

I am really interested in Ruina period in particular

Привітання, українські люди!
Since quite recently I think about the fact to learn Ukrainian language, and I started to learn some basic sentences, nevertheless I’m confused about the way to say “I speak+langage”. I mean, when I go to applications for languages learning, or in translator or even some online lessons, it is said that we should say «я розмовляю», but when I hear native speakers, for example in social medias, they generally say «я говорю».
So, which one is the correct word? Or maybe it depends on the part of the country where you live? I’ll be very interested to know.

Thank you in advance for your help!
І слава Україні! 🌻 💙💛

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to share a quick milestone and express my gratitude to my student, Eleni. We've officially reached the 4-month mark of our Ukrainian learning journey together!

Teaching a language is always a two-way street, and Eleni's dedication, consistency, and genuine curiosity make every single lesson such a joy. Going from initial steps to seeing her comfortably understand and speak Ukrainian over these four months has been incredibly rewarding.

Eleni, if you see this — величезне дякую for your hard work, positive energy, and commitment to learning Ukrainian! You're doing an absolute fantastic job, and I couldn't be prouder of your progress.

To everyone else here on their learning path: keep going, every bit of practice counts! Все буде Україна!
