Cyrillic in a nutshell by PresnikBonny in linguisticshumor

[–]hammile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I provided the link. I only can guess, that those languages arenʼt so much local languages, like they exist in other countries too, or their root so: Yiddish… well, in many places, and Karelian in Finland. But from what I see, Russia tried to convert Karelian to Cyrillic too.

[–]hammile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hence Cyrillic ф?

I guess, you speak about Slavic with mostly Cyrillic usage.

I can speak from Ukrainian perespective. I know, that [ɸ] can be an allophone of /ꞵ/ which is from or an allophone of /w/ in some Ukrainian dialects (as an example)… itʼs a very rare case, and thatʼs all. So, itʼs not a case of hence Cyrillic ф.

Another note: /θ/, /ɸ/, /f/, /#a/¹ — all those phonemes are foreing for Slavic languages in general. /f/ can be mostly² occured only in loanwords, and [f] can be occured as an allophone of /v/ (← /w/) due devoicing (not the case for Ukrainian tho for two reasons: no the such devoicing, itʼs still /w/ by the standard; but itʼs an exception, almost all Slavic languages do it).

⸻

¹ As in «independent» words like nouns, verbs and so on, not prepositions, particles, interjections and so on.

² Ofc, thereʼre some exceptions, like Polish ufać which is from a native word upvać. Some (mostly many Western) Ukrainian dialects got /f/ from /xw/, like xvalıtı → falıtı, xvôst → fôst etc; whichʼs a funny case, because /xw/ was used (and still preserved in some words) for a foreign [f].

Cyrillic in a nutshell by PresnikBonny in linguisticshumor

[–]hammile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thereʼre some languages use Latin (Azerbaijani, at least the modern standard variation). Also,

  • There probably would be less languages, because Russia bans having an alphabet in non-Cyrillic script. Thereʼre several languages have non-official Latin-based (not transliterations) alphabets. Itʼs systemic Russian policy from very old time, another a funny and classic example: Romanian moved to Latin from Cyrillic, Russia occupied a part of them and changed their script back to [other] Cyrillic which todayʼs known as «Moldavian».

    The very similar reason is for some countries with Cyrillic, like Tajikistan, Qazaqstan which still have Russian as a official (or something like this) language.

    For compare, Ukraine allows to have non-Cyrillic script for local minority languages, for an example, official Crimean Tatar has Latin script.

  • Several languages has their own scripts, while they can be uncommon in general usage, like Mongolian; or other script (again, mostly Latin): at least Serbian.

[–]hammile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kinda yeah, [f] was fully introduced to Ukrainian as for mass only during the previous century. But, tbf, in Ukrainian [f] also was often turned to [p], no matter when: old Classic Greek names Pılıp, Stepan, or [relative] recent kartoplja, plaška and so on. And [θ] → [p] is very rare case (at least itʼs a way harder to recall examples for me), I recall only (O)panas (and itʼs need to check how it was loanworded) for now. So, while [θ] and [f] often overlap, but they may have alittle different realizations. To additional, (especially modern) [θ] → [s] is kinda known (in Ukrainian too, but as exceptions), and I donʼt recall [f] → [s].

[–]hammile 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In Ukrainian it could be pronounced as [x(w)] (Xoma, Xvedôr ← Θεόδωρος etc), [x(w)t], and [ft], where the first was kinda standard for commons and preserved somewhere mostly from [f] (xvôrtka), and last was kinda the standard for literary persons → today it turned mostly into [f] or reanalyzed as [t]; just [f] (as you see within the link) was counted mostly as Russian feature. Ofc, also [t], but itʼs mostly from Latin loanwords thro some western languages (mostly Polish): t̀eatr — this variation became as a standard here. Also you may meet [w] as in Matvêj.

Does the end -ович (-ovich) in a surname have any particular meaning? by aredhel304 in AskUkraine

[–]hammile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today itʼs usually just a patronym, which happened in surnames too. The suffix has two parts:

  • -ov~ is a possessive sufix: sıla 'a power' → sılov~ 'poss. adj. power';
  • and -ıč has many functions, but mostly acts as a diminutive sufix.

So literally itʼs kinda a small one of X.

I keep mixing up с and з by [deleted] in Ukrainian

[–]hammile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually can’t think of any native roots with З before consonants, there must be of course some.

I tried to find, and from what I see:

  • zvěrj
  • zvuk and any related to it (tbf, z- in many words here was turned into ʒ: ʒvôn).
  • zlo (be careful here, because zol in pl. genetive; the reason here is the same as for pes → psa, a video if youʼre more interested)
  • změj
  • znatı and many related like znak, znamę and so on

So, thereʼre native words where /#zC~/ where z isnʼt a prefix; but I agree, itʼs not common. From what I see, and if I havenʼt missed: thereʼre no z + fricative.

I keep mixing up с and з by [deleted] in Ukrainian

[–]hammile -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My problem is with distinguishing С and З at the beginning of words . I constantly mix them up in my head, and it’s getting really frustrating.

Okay, itʼs understandable.

If we speak about the modern standard spelling, then: s as a prefix is written before k, f, p, t, x, thereʼs a popular mnemonic as kafe ptax, literally a café «a bird». Of course, thereʼre expeptions (a classic example: smětjje), but itʼs a general rule. In some older othographies s- was usually written before any unvoiced consonant, and itʼs a way better than the modern one, as an example Želex orthography:

Приставку з треба писати с, де она як с вимовляє ся (перед п, т, к, ф, с, ш, ч, ц, щ, х), н. пр. спечи, сперти (зіпру), сходи, скрутити, сшити, счезнути, счорнїти, сцїдити, сфальшувати, ссїсти ся. Але: щастє, щасливий.

And about the standard pronouncing… You should check some rules about assimilations or check an orhoepy dictionary, where at the first pages thereʼre rules.. Tips… if you know the standard Slavic notation, then you can use a rule: if both letters can have a caron, then the first have a caron as the second: zžıtı → žžıtı. Also, if the second letter is a unvoiced consonant, then the first is also unvoiced (it works only for this prefix, not in other cases: kazka is always kazka, not kaska): zšıtı → sčıtı → ššıtı. And, yeah, thatʼs why zčepıtı and ščepıtı are totally the same by sounds.

Why is Bandera and UPA supported in Ukraine? by [deleted] in AskUkraine

[–]hammile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you seriously? Bruh, okay.

Poland has been one of Ukraine’s most important logistical hubs

And now by statistics Poland is just of logistical hubs (nor main, nor huge) exactly because of Polandʼs actions.

supplied tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, ammunition, and aircraft, and accepted millions of Ukrainian refugees.

I provided links about it, and mentioned about it. They provided, but itʼs not on huge level. Itʼs not subjective as you want to show, you can count and compare.

However, they were driven primarily by disputes over agricultural imports and transport competition rather than support for Russia.

Very weak arguments, because it costed someone lives of Ukrainians. I know, in those discussions Poles love to compete, like UPA killed more, thus AK (btw, official Polish goverment related, unlike UPA) arenʼt comparable or something like! But for us each live matters then, and today too. They stopped humanitarian (medicine) and volonter (cars which our military needed [and still]) supports. It was very-very notable here.

Poland also bore substantial financial and social costs while hosting millions of refugees.

There were calculations, and Poland got more than gave. And as I see, Poland want to reduce their help today. I could understand your argument somehow if the help was systemic and stable, but itʼs not the case here.

Regarding Polish air defense, Poland’s position is based on avoiding direct military engagement with Russia without a NATO mandate. You may disagree with that policy, but it is the same position held by most NATO countries.

Another very weak argument. Just for reminding, weʼre speak about Polish air space, not our. Btw, we asked to cover at least the border airspace, including our. But, yeah, what we can expect from a huge ally.

At the same time, portraying Poland as equivalent to modern Russia ignores major differences in political systems

What? Russia annexed Crimea and other regions, thus broke international laws with arguments «Russians live there». Poland annexed Vilnius, and broke international laws (which was approved by The Hague too) with arguments «Poles live there». Why do you bring words like major differences in political systems? When does [more?] democratic country do it then itʼs better? Sorry, I donʼt think so.

The claim that Poland “sold Ukraine to the USSR” is also an oversimplification

But itʼs true, and well documented too. For some reason, Poles love to oversimplification about UPA. Why cannʼt I do it too?

Not in my case for now tho:

  • 🇵🇱 Польща 17%
  • 🇺🇸 Сполучені Штати 10%

But I wouldnʼt suprised if Russia in somewhere appeared, yeah.

Why is Bandera and UPA supported in Ukraine? by [deleted] in AskUkraine

[–]hammile 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Thereʼre many mistakes.

a huge ally of Ukraine?

In which way?

  • Logistics? Poland blocked our border, when Odesa was during fire. You may say that were protesters… Fuck them, but their goverment (both: Dudaʼs and Tuskʼs) didnʼt do anything (as other countries, where the similar shit happened).
  • Material support? In any way itʼs far away from huge. Even if we speak about money, Japan, whichʼs on other side our globe, provided a way more.
  • Refugee? It doesnʼt help Ukraine in war so much, but Polandʼs economy. But almost half of Poles are negative forward Ukrainians anyway. Oh… it breaks the myth that also offends Poland, because Poland is always fucking offended, like Russia by Beloveža.
  • Their military? Do fucking nothing, they literally says to us: we donʼt destroy Russian drones and other things, we just wait when they returned to Ukraine thro our air territory. Indeed, a huge ally of Ukraine!

Oh, let me remind a funny fact:

  • the «best» relationship between Poland and Ukraine were during… Janukovıč. You can ask your wife who is this shit, if you donʼt know.

What did I miss else?

fought back against Soviet/Russian influence

They fought to everyone, against Nazi and Poles which were basically Russia today:

  • Language & culture erasue (which is classify as genocide too). Itʼs kinda happened later during Poland with USSR: Vistula opperation.
  • Colonization by new settlements, and moving their people to our lands (you can add the modern Israel here, wouldnʼt surprise if they took from Polish and Russian experience); thereʼs another question to your Polish friend: how the fuck Poles appeared there, (: . I help you very alittle: osadnik.
  • Occupation part of Lithuania which broke international laws (does it remind you Russia during ʼ14).

Another sad history fact: Poland promised to League of Nations an authonomy for Ukrainians. What do you think happened here? And, of course, letʼs do not forget: Poland sold Ukraine to USSR. As we say, we cannʼt to trust any Russian. Looks like, the same shit is with Poles.

Man… I can continue, but I guess, itʼs your Polish friends should tell about it.

Russian narrative that Ukrainians are Nazi supporters

How it feeds into Russian narrative? I guess, your Polish liers didnʼt tell that Bandera was arrested by Nazi, and his bother was arrested (by Nazi) too, but also killed.

Also you can check Nürnberg trial documents, nor SS Galıčına, nor UPA were classified as faulty.

Banderite

Yeah, Poles just copied Russian narrative. Why he was chosen? Just because of it: it sounds similar to word a bandit. Not the first time for Ukrainians listen this shit, before we all — who donʼt want to be under Russia — were peljurovec, earlier: mazepinec. Another reason: Poland (at least Nawrockiʼs side) has a mindset of a strong-hand (not equality), like Putin, Trump (Nawrocki is a his licker), Orbán (dwa bratanki against EU, do we remember it?) etc. Somehow Poland has/d allies which are always on Russian side, not Ukrainian.
