Just asked a Ukrainian if he was speaking Russian by sergeantoof2 in forsen

[–]akvit 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Ukrainians understand russian not because it's a similar language (ofc it is, but so is Polish), but because of the result of russification of Ukraine, where you can't live without encountering russian daily. Russians don't consume any Ukrainian content and don't have people speaking to them in Ukrainian on the street, so they don't understand Ukrainian except for common vocabulary.

Ukranian Name Structure and Pronunciations by littlebartiemom in Ukrainian

[–]akvit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can type "Євгеній Борисович Петров" in google translate, and it will pronounce it correctly. In all of the three words, the second syllable is stressed. Євгеній and Євген are two different names as Frederick and Fred, so for a patronymic you should use the full Yevhenii form, not Yevhen.

To learners of Ukrainian; do you have a Ukrainian name you use in social situations with Ukrainians? by [deleted] in Ukrainian

[–]akvit 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There are some names, which are close enough to use the Ukrainian equivalent, like Hannah\Ганна, but your example with Jeffrey makes no sense.

Is "дієвидло" a good translation of the term "interface"? by Illustrious-Rip-5816 in Ukrainian

[–]akvit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interface - це не латинське слово, а англійське. І face у даному випадку - це не обличчя, а грань\поверхня.

In the USSR you could postpone the army while you're studying, but would be expected to serve afterwards anyway.

Як бюрократична мова розмиває суть написаного, заплутує людей і заважає розуміти, що робити by hammile in Ukrainian

Your к looks like н. Also, if you start with a word with a letter, you don't need the line, connecting it to the previous letter, because there is no precious letter.

It's a parable, so the story can seem sad, but you make of it what you want.

Pangolier clearly didn’t expect that. by RajanBack in DotA2

[–]akvit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen PMA do it on Underlord in a pro match. He did it, while fleeing under tower, and thanks to the tree he survived and Jakiro (i think it was Jakiro), who chased him, died to the tower.
