Before getting to the second paragraph, I thought, and I was already writing it, that Ď and Ť would be like the Russian palatalized (soft) sounds дь and ть , as in де сять or in Ека те рина, as it exactly describes what you explained about the mechanics of the "ñ" sound. If I am correct i...

My daughter and I are both using Duolingo. She's learning Ukrainian and I'm brushing up on Spanish. We use an app called Viber for chats, and it has sticker packs in various languages like English, Spanish, French, and Ukrainian. I would like to surprise her and send her some stickers in Ukrainian ...

Comments to the video 2 ^^^ part 5, the last холоде́ць — meat jelly; traditionally made of not the best kinds of meat, with more bones and connecting tissue, boiled for several hours to get most of collagen into the stock, also can be made of fish; nowadays people often just add gelatine.

Cześć, Dana_Dany Danuta Spodziewam się, że wkrótce spełni się twoje marzenie i będziesz mogła przyjechać do Lwowa i spróbować to wszystko.

Returning to the video 2 ^^^ Part 4 ква́шена капу́ста — sour cabbage. It is not a standalone dish, usually a starter or an addition to the main course. Despite the name, it's not as sour as the German Sauerkraut. It is the very old traditional way to conserve cabbage during the winter and a source o...

Explanations to the video 2 ^^^ part 3 Варе́ники are mostly know in the English-speaking countries under Polish name 'pierogi', in Poland itself 'pierogi ruskie', where 'ruskie' doesn't mean 'Russian', but 'Ruthenian', referring to the land called Русь (Ruś in Polish and Ruthenia in Latin) which rou...

Hi, @Enzfj2! I noticed that it says Russian, but I thought these dishes were typically Ukrainian! Thank you for all the corrections regarding traditional Ukrainian dishes. I read what you write with interest. 🙂 I'll tell you that I like 'Kwas chlebowy' and it's good for hot days. I wonder if you sp...

Explanations to the video 2 ^^^ part 2 For the beginning, I missed the drink.

Interesting that the direct Polish cognate kwas means 'acid', and t...

Meli578588 I'm pleased to see that you liked my post. I feel I need to explain that shibboleth is a linguistic term for the marker word, which allows to distinguish between groups of people.

Meli578588 , Davey944676 Generally ковбаса is kind of uncountable item, like bread: usually you don't eat the entire piece of it as is produced, just some slice(s) or chunk(s) of it. When countable, хліби́ (plural) 'breads' means 'loaves of bread'; there is a special word хліби́на for 'loaf', but i...

Careful: рожева сорочка would be interpreted rather as a 'pink nightgown', if you mean a regular button-down shirt, better to say рожева чоловіча сорочка. What's interesting, the word 'рожевий' is an obvious cognate of rose , but the flower 'rose' is 'троянда', while 'рожа' is 'hollyhock' https://up...
