r/Ukrainian

Бажаю міцного Усім доброго ранку. Я трішки в шоці. Федоров однією заявою впав в Моїх очах. Всі плюси разом перекреслив. Закликати до виборів! Це на Мою думку грати ворожими наративами. А головне що ця людина попри усі красиві слова просто хоче влади. Нажаль. Ну подивимось #думка

Сьогодні в мене зламалась клавіатура мені треба 500 гривень на ремонт де можна заробити в 12 років

I was thinking maybe phrasal verbs or choosing whether to say “do” or “is” when starting a question. Obviously since English is analytic, it will probably be more of structural thing than an individual word thing. Just it always seems magical the way Ukrainians know so clearly what they are going to say before they say it

Hey y’ll! My name is Andre, M-28yo, and I’m looking for a Ukrainian-speaking bud to practice languages with. I can help you improve your English, and in return I’d love to learn Ukrainian. We can chat about daily life, culture, travel, movies, or anything interesting. I’m a brazilian living in Canada, and I’m hoping to make new friends while learning a new language. No pressure, just friendly conversations and mutual language exchange. I can speak Portuguese, English, Spanish and I’ve been learning Italian and French. Feel free to dm me if you’re interested!

Ukrainian for work is more than just learning professional vocabulary.
It’s about knowing how to:
✔️ introduce yourself at work
✔️ speak to colleagues naturally
✔️ write emails and messages
✔️ participate in meetings
✔️ communicate with clients
✔️ make requests politely
✔️ understand workplace culture
✔️ feel confident using Ukrainian in real professional situations
I’m a Ukrainian language teacher working with adults, and I’m especially interested in helping foreigners use Ukrainian naturally and confidently at work.
Because knowing Ukrainian is one thing. Being able to use it in a professional environment is another. Would you be interested in learning Ukrainian specifically for your workplace?

Hello all, I would like some advice and help in translating the following phrase into Ukrainian:

"May you forever enjoy the joys of reading, my dear friend"

It is for a gift I'm giving to an old friend of mine and I don't want to use Google translate since it often comes across as bookish/formal or even archaic.

I would also be very obliged if someone can direct me to any resources that would help in formulating a translation that is not formal and has some guidance with respect to the grammar.

Just a quick question:
Is this correct Ukrainian?
шкодую, що...
I regret that...

Hi everyone, I have got a question.

I hired a Ukrainian gardener today to work on my garden. It's been 40 degrees outside and he worked like a champ. I offered him something to drink on many occassions, but he kept refusing.

I was wondering if that refusal had a cultural background or if this guy was just stubborn.

I took some Ukrainian lessons over the last half year and one of my teachers was pointing out that a couple of words I tried to use were "Russicisms". Unfortunately, I was not able to verify this independently and had a couple of times the feeling that this was rather a statement on colloquial / regional usage. Some particular word pairs that stood out to me were:

• потяг ✅ - поїзд ❌
• телефонувати ✅ - дзвонити ❌
• відпустка ✅ - вакації ❌

I am therefore curios to know whether these suggestions are indeed correct.

Also whether anyone knows here if by chance any language / cultural institute is working on standardization guidelines. This may sound odd, but is pretty "normal" in Germany were we have institutes on standardized usage and orthography of the German language.

I've tried both apps, and I would say it's not very successful at all. I want to meet new people and get to know some others while exchanging language in some form or fashion. What's the method guys?

I know its might be dumb question and I can ask Ai about it ,but I like to hear it from real people 😅

edit: thanks to all of you guys for your answers,I read all of it 💜

the generosity Ukranians have and willing to help others makes me more interested in your culture

Slava Ukraini!

I only heard few videos of ukranian, plus few encounters irl, and it seems that there are the Russified ones in terms of accent and the ones that sound totally different or like polish. Why is that? I hope I don't come across as ignorant

Also, how can I learn ukrainian if I have semi decent pronunciation in Russian but awful grammar? I can understand Ukrainian a bit when it's written e.g. if I take the song погляд (which I thought at first that it means to pet (поглядеть) and not view загляд) there's ton of similiar words: твоїх = твоих, очах = очах, жаль = жалко, печаль = печаль, вiдпyскай = выпускай, своїх = своих, зимовy = зима, лiта = лет, сонця = солнца, вiтpy = ветер, забиpало = забирало, свiтло = светло, менi = меня, yвi cнi = весны, таємниця = темнице, ночі = ночь, Сьогодні = сегодня, не = не, йди = иди, тільки = только

That's a lot of similiar words, i might be wrong with the comparisons, but it should be able to help me right? Im not expecting Russian v2.0, just that it will have some similiarities occasionally so that i'll won't have to learn from scratch, but still will get some challenge
