I have a question for you that you may want to make into a video based on it. it has to do with Leo Tolstoy's novel, "Anna Karenina." It has been made into a movie several times
in English speaking countries, in particular the U.S. and the UK. Many Russians have disliked these film adaptations, and to paraphrase their reasons, "they fail to capture things that
are essential to Russian culture." Have you seen these movies, and do you concur with this sentiment, and what does it specifically mean?
Real Russian Club im a Macedonian from Australia and I understand almost everything 👍
Some interesting history about the slavic languages;
Old Church Slavonic is the language that was used to spread the slavic orthodox (pravo slaven) religion throughout Europe.
Old Church Slavonic is closet to today’s Macedonian language and it was Macedonian missionary’s who went throughout Europe spreading the pravo slaven religion and giving people the slavic alphabet which was created in Macedonia by the brothers kiril and metodi, thats why its called Cyrillic alphabet.
Even President Putin payed homage and congratulated the Macedonian President and said
“Macedonia is the cradle of slavic literature” because he knows Russia got its alphabet and religion from Macedonians in the 10th century.
So the Macedonian language was the greatest influencer on the slavic languages.
The people of the “pravo slaven” religion were called “pravo slavni”. That’s where the term “SLAV” comes from and today it also includes countries that are not “slavic orthodox” but they speak a slavic language.
Ukrainian is weird.
@@WatchmanofMKDN russian is the closest to old church slavonic.
Watching this video today make my heart melt. 2 countries share so many similar history and culture but end up going to war.
Yes I also feel very very sad
@@katerynaperynets4698 I agree with you🇺🇦
@@katerynaperynets4698 You seem to know very little about the history of your country. Do you know who Bogdan Khmelnitsky is? Do you know about Bogdan Khmelnitsky's letter to the Russian Tsar dated 1648? Well, at least you know Lermontov.
Я русский.. Я Украина
@@Naschira I think that if you knew more about Bohdan Khmelnytsky and the Zaporozhians, you would be aware that when the Muscovite emissaries met with the Kozak representatives, the two parties had to use translators to even understand each other.
I'm addition, the Kozaks did not expect to be forced to make an oath of loyalty to the Czar. They wanted an equal partnership, and were used to the less centralized form of government in the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Czar however was an absolute ruler. Any time the Kozaks stepped out of the line the Czar violently repressed them. So much for brotherhood

Actually, a whale is written same in both languages - кит. The pronunciation differs: soft 'ee' in Russian and hard sound in Ukrainian.

кит [rus.] = kит [ukr.] = whale [eng.]

I came here just because i wanted to see peace between Russia and Ukraine. So much similarities means that you share the same ancestry. I am from India and it hurts to see constant bickering between India and Pakistan who shared the same ancestry.

Ukrainian is a lot closer to Polish, if not almost everything is the same. Some words are more similar to Russian. As a Pole, I understood 96% Ukrainian and 90% Russian in this video. Nevertheless, great video :).
Im Ukrainian but it isnt easy to understand Polish:) Still, understand some words. For us some words sound really funny and very cute :)
Whoa! Really!! 😮😮
Pole position mmmm
For Czech it's much easier to understand Ukrainian than Russian, but not in all cases. But both languages are eastern slavic so it's not so easy to understand, but Ukrainian is definitely better for me, that's why I hate when Ukrainian workers here speaking Russian to me. If some Ukrainian is reading this - OMG speak Ukrainian when you are in Czechia or Poland, speaking Russian to younger people is nonsense, we don't understand.
@@Pidalin I especially liked the example "to do", that sounded like "robiť" vs "dělat" (Slovak vs Czech) 😁

I used to think that Russian and Ukrainian were like the difference between British and American English. Now, I would compare it to the difference between Italian and Spanish: similar alphabet and sounds, some common vocabulary, but distinct languages in their own rights.
Spanish and Italian is definitely a more apt comparison. Although Slavic languages in general have diverged comparatively not that long ago, so with some training it's possible to understand all of them if you're fluent in just one. Of course correct active use is another story.
I suppose thinking the differences between the two languages were negligible at best is a result of Russian state propaganda who wants to deny Ukraine the right to statehood, and therefore presents Ukrainian as a dialect of Russian - which is not correct by any linguistic criterion, nor by the history of the evolution of these two languages.
@@SaturnineXTS By not long ago, I understand you if you're talking about Ukrainian, cause they came to exist in WW1 by separating from Russia and becoming a new country, they didn't want to be Russians anymore, we had same case in Balkans when Croats and Montenegrins didn't want to be Serbs anymore..
@@r.fantom I was talking about languages, not countries. The Slavic family has diverged only around a thousand years ago, which is not much for languages. For Russian and Ukrainian it would be several hundred years
@@SaturnineXTS Several hundred craps. Ukrainian language didn't exist before Ukraine came to be. And no, not all of them. Serbs spoke old Serbian, also called Church Slavic language, not long time ago we made new Serbian, modern language. Church Slavic was base Slavic language.
@@r.fantom Sorry but you are definitely wrong. Church Slavic based Old Bulgarian's language. even more - people had two totally different languages in the antic world- spoken and written. Written one studied extremally thin layer of people. And that what Russian very similar on Church Slavic looks suspicious and may indicate on lack of spoken languages from it place which has kept to modern days.
Look! Latin, pictures of ancient Egyptian, Church Slavonic, Scandinavian runes, Mayan knot writing are ancient written languages. Modern writing appeared relatively recently through the transmission of spoken language sounds.

1:53 на украинском лучше сказать ГАРНИЙ [ГАРНЫЙ]
лучше сказать "вродливий"
Вродливий - это если говорить о человеке. А если обо всем остальном, то "красивий".
А гарний точнее хороший.
Слово "Гарний" является более широким, так как означает не только "Красивый", но и "Хороший".
Краще "файний". А "дом" - "будинок".

I belive a russian can understand an ukrainian over a beer in a bar, same as a Romanian from Bucharest can understand a Moldavian from Chisinau 🤣
Romanians and Moldavians speak the same language.
It’s like Spanish of Spain and Spanish of Mexico.
No Russians have a hard time understanding Ukrainians. The two languages only have a 60-65% lexical similarity.
You mean a romanian can understand Italian..because moldavian or Transylvanian or Oltenian are the same

fuck it, fuck russia, fuck russian
*Thank you for this informative video! I worked in the Czech Republic for nearly two years, and from this video I can see/hear that Ukrainian words and vocabulary seem much closer to Czech (and I assume to the other Western Slavic languages). For instance, Russian has no "h" sound, as Czech and Ukrainian do, and instead uses a "g" sound. Also, in the matter of vocabulary, the Czech word for "red" is "červený," which is much closer to the Ukrainian "червоний" than the Russian "красный," etc. Я Вас благодарю!*
In Russian language they have sound "h"
@@Белла-я4р Please give me an example of a Russian word that has the "h" sound. I have never encountered any word in Russian that has this sound. Instead, "h" is transliterated as Г (G).

@@Белла-я4р The Russian letter X is *not* an "H" sound. Rather, it is a guttural CH, such as is found in the German words "Buch" or "lachen." I know that you are the native-speaker of Russian--but they do not sound at all like an H to Anglophones.
@@519djw6 Okay 🙂 I didn't know that, sorry. I'm not Russian, I'm Ukrainian 💙💛 I speak only Ukrainian, I just watched a lot of videos and films in Russian, so I know it quite well)

Very interesting to sort these comments by newest and compare those from before the invasion versus those after the invasion. Seriously, try it yourself on other videos like these.
Great video, girls! :)
But you should have went more structured into detail (more scientificly) with the differences.
Like:
-There are words that changed their meaning slightly over the time, but basically meaning the same or similar in both languages: великий, лист, красный, малювати
- Meanings that found a new word in Russian, however the initial word in Ukranian is perfectly understood by Russian speakers, because very similar meanings have the same word in Russian:
ребёнок - дитина - дети
человек - людина - люди
- Ukranian words which are testimonials of the slavic language continuum and which were taken out of this continuum and today manifested as well in the Polish language (or Czech/Slovak languages), while in Russian still using another word - like працювати, роботи, дякую
- Ukrainian words coming from the German language (from those times when German was the official language in slavic dominated areas), while in Russian the old slavic word is used:
смачный, which comes from Smak (today found in german Geschmack or Skandinavian smak)
цукор, which comes from Zucker (which technically also tracks back to the same roots as сахар - in the greek language coming from arab / persian)
краватка which comes from Krawatte (itself comming from hrvat/croatian)
or other categories I forgot now.
If considering those aspects Russian and Ukranian are a lot closer than it might appear in the begining :)
A tie in Spanish is Corbata. If we use cirilic letters it would sound like корбата with the o sounding like an o not an a. Languages are so interesting.
By the way I follow both of you. ☺
If you think that's interesting, you should know that the word "cravate" comes from the name of the Slavic people Croats whose soldiers traditionally wore neckties.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cravat_Regiment
In Romanian is Cravată. :>
tie in persian (Iran) i keravat.
Obviously from German - die Krawatte.
@@idopshik No, from "der Kroate"/"Croat" originally. That's where all of these words come from.
This is so cool. I actually follow both of your channels, and they're 2 of my favorites for learning Russian. I've only been at this for a couple of months, so obviously I'm far from being conversational. But with the aid of your channels, and others like them on TH-cam, a couple of language apps, and copious amounts of Russian Pop & Rap music I'm learning in the most fun way I can. Thanks for sharing.
First of all, гвинтокрил isn't helicopter in Ukrainian, it's gyrodyne. Helicopter in Ukrainian is вертоліт or гелікоптер. These two words are similar, but not the same. Video is nice, but saying that Ukrainian is VERY different from Russian isn't true. English is very different from Russian. Ukrainian is similar to Russian, both languages belong to east Slavic language branch, but they aren't the same language.
they are different enough for many Russians not being able to understand Ukrainian :)
Yes, that's called mutually unintelligible languages. But still that doesn't mean that these two languages are very different.
omg ok ok :D
Among the slavic languages, they are one of the most different from one another. Most Russians dont understand Ukrainian.
@@alekshukhevych2644 uh well. Russian and Ukrainian are definitely not the farthest from each other. Russian is a bit apart from the rest of Slavic languages, that's more true.
Thank you espacibo for all these videos, been watching a lot of them and learning a lot
I'm looking forward to hear you actually having some nice conversation with each other in that beautiful language that russian is.
I'm studying both languages and this is really useful for begginers!
You have Serbian surname. For Serbians to learn Russian or Ukrainian is very easy
Brilliantly done. That Г sound in Ukrainian is tricky. Somewhere I read that Ukrainian was closer to Polish and had only around a 40% similarity with Russian while having a 60% similarity to Polish. Such numerical scores are probably specious, but it successfully conveys the idea that Russian and Ukrainian are not identical. I got a little hopeful that I was catching on when I was able to identify the movie Он - дракон as using Ukrainian and not Russian as it was listed on IMDB. I heard 'так' instead of 'да'. Multitudinous thanks to you and Nika. It's slow going, but my skills with the language are improving thanks to your guidance.
Of course there are many Polish words, because western Ukraine was Polish and Austro-Hungarian territory)) The flag of Ukraine is the flag of Lower Austria
Алексей Карпов that fact that western Ukraine was under Poland has nothing to do with that, it's true that in the regions close to polish border have more similarities with Polish (duh, no surprise there), but eastern verities of Ukrainian still bare more resemblance with Polish, and especially Belorussian
Both languages are Eastern Slavic and close to each other. Both mutually intelligible. However, Polish is closer to Ukrainian compared to Russian. Especially in terms of vocabulary.

s, but it doesn't mean that these words are mistakes! It's just one of the ways to say it. You can check it out on any Ukrainian vocabulary.

Дякую! This is a very useful video to show the differences between the two languages. I know a lot of people who say they are very similar but having studied both I never really saw what they were talking about.
I am Russian, live in Russia and can understand about 80-90% of Ukrainian without learning it.. Russian and Ukrainian are very close languages.
@@SovietClassic I obviously see that there are similarities but from a learner's perspective it might be more difficult to see them at first.
Similar is not the same, right?
@@SovietClassic how much time had you watched Ukrainian TV before? Also, I have read the informal information about German who began understood basic Dutch after a month of constant exposure to it and without studying it (except for specialized technical concepts). And it became to exist even with differences with grammar and word order in these two languages. Also, Russian may translate the Ukrainian with false friends. For example, a Russian user translated Ukrainian word "dovelosia" (had to) as the Russian word "dovelos" (had a chance, manage).
Ігор Клим, I have learned English for many years and know it worse than Ukrainian which I have never studied. Some words are false friends but most words are understandable without learning them
Pozdrawiam Was dziewczyny dzięki za lekcje.
Разница ощущается в построении предложений и в целом в речи.
просто по словам все славянские языки похожи.
звісно, тільки тюрський відрізняється
Русский как раз отличается больше всех от остальных. Наиболее близкий к нему - болгарский.
Разве что по лексике. По строю языка ближайший к русскому - белорусский. А болгарский синтаксис - это что-то с чем-то, ни в одном другом славянском языке такого нет.
Как раз предложения строятся одинаково
@@Daniel_Poirot не так. Я скорее пойму поляка,когда он медленно говорит,чем болгарина
I would say that Ukranian and Russian are as similar and different as Portuguese and Spanish maybe or like Danish and Norwegian .
Is it just me or are Ukrainians deliberately exaggerating the differences in languages by purging some words as "incorrect" if they're similar to Russian, but not to other languages? E.g., entering "suitcase" into a translator often yields "чемодан" in Ukrainian, but commenters would say that "вализа" is correct. Or "красивий" is definitely a Ukrainian word, but the commenters say that only "гарний" is good. Or "багатый" is the primary word for "rich", according to Google Translate, but they say it's also no good.
Then upon denouncing all those words, they say Ukrainian is more similar to Polish. Of course it is if you purge any words similar to Russian, but do nothing to words similar to Polish.
Not saying this to attack Ukraine, deny that the language is distinct, and so on.
Great Video! I have an interesting story. I've been interested in Russian language since I was about 14. When I was about 24 or so, I found a Belarusian poem on an obscure Belarusian website. I carefully wrote it down and brought it to a choir assistant who was from Russia. He took one look and it and told me he had little idea how to translate it. But then a few years later there was this Girl in a theatre class I was taking who was from Ukraine. She WAS able to (kind of) get the gist of what the poem was about! It was really interesting to see her mental work as she was translating it. It was almost like she had to go into a special secluded place in her mind and switch mental gears, drudging up all the old Ukrainian language thought process that (seemingly) had laid dormant all those years. (the guy in our class thought I was just hitting on her and couldn't really read Cyrillic! Ha-Ha) But it was a really interesting experience about language. "No! she told me. This Belarusian is closer to the Ukrainian. A Russian wouldn't Understand this very well at all"
Wow, that is fascinating.

I really enjoyed the class and even related the words to other languages such as "краватка" similar to "gravata" in portuguese and " cravatta" in italian, even similar to spanish "corbata".
Some Ukranian words also seem more related to German, we call a neck tie "Krawatte" ;-) And some other words seem to have Latin roots or sound like some Italian words (the words for eyes and glasses; hm, might be because Latin was the language of science for a long time).
Ukranian seems to aspirate consonants more than Russian, at least the sh / tsh -sounds. Germans aspirate a lot on all consonants, especially on hard ones like t, k, p. That would be the main difference between German and Dutch which are also "sister languages" - the Dutchies do not aspirate, like never ever ;-D

That moment when you realize your language knows variant of both, ukrainian and russian word. :-D For example list, in czech it's leave even sheet of paper or rano/utro, we have ráno and jitro so both is understandable. That Russian helicopter sounded similar to our vrtulník. But there is many false friends. Zručný in Czech means handy, not comfortable, vkusný means elegant or tastefull, not yummy, rýsovat means make technical draw (for example floor plan of house) etc...
the same in ukrainian lyst means letter, leave and sheet of paper ( but we usually use papir or lyst paperu, napysaty na paperi)
Вы не далеки от истины. rýsovat
Line = риска(укр.) = черта(рус.) ->чертеж(рус.) = [rýs]ovat = [рис]ка(укр.)
Or krásný (beautiful vs red)
Ukrainian has lot more western influence
Cool video
I thought Russian had more Western influence because of French, German, Dutch, and so on? I may be wrong, though.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 The Western influence primarily happened because of Russian royalty (mostly French) and Russian writers who knew more than one language (French, Spanish, English, Ukrainian, Hebrew, etc.). The common people only knew Russian and those in villages probably knew only their mother tongue and some Russian.
@@itsgiag Thanks. Did any common people also know Old Church Slavonic?
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 I'm guessing that some could have and some couldn't, but most likely is that priests were the ones that knew Old Church Slavonic -perhaps royalty and famous people did, too-.
Спасибо вам за прекрасную работу, мне очень понравилось видео. Два из красивейших языков в одном видео - это здорово! 🇺🇦🇷🇺

Russian sounds more beautiful and natural to me
I find Ukrainian much more plesant to listen, although Russian is more useful.

@@von_Lemberg два видео: 1)"Андрей Ваджра о происхождении украинцев" 2) "Станислав Дробышевский. О национализме с научной точки зрения."
Украинство - искусственный проект, ментальный конструкт заложенный Польско-Литовской республикой, по уничтожению русской культуры и государственности. Отдаленно напоминает проект американских либерцев (american liberian), с теми же целями (уничтожать своих же братьев по крови, услуживая и подчиняясь господину на ментальном уровне). Поэтому он неспособен создать свое государство, не способен к независимости и поощряет стукачество в жесточайших формах, по схожим принципам почему вирус неспособен создать более сложный организм.
Язык основан на польском, с большим количеством немецкий вставок (отсыл к Австро-Венгрии).
А как же русские синонимы типа ребенок-дитя,глаза-очи.Я думаю в украинском тоже есть синонимы схожие с русскими словами.
This is really interesting to me. I am currently trying to learn Russia with Daria's videos. And, at the same time, I thought I would be able to converse with someone from Ukraine as well. When a Ukrainian person and a Russian person meet, which language do they speak? Or do they each speak their own language and make do the best they can? I will follow Nika on her Channel as well.
Well, a significant part of Ukrainians communicate in Russian. I think that Ukrainians no longer want to communicate with Russians in any language. I said to myself: no common language with the Russians
@@gnilca_
Yes. You may be right about that.
@@deejay6869 however, I can point out that after the aggression of Russia, the majority of Ukrainians began to communicate in Ukrainian and deleted the Russian language from their lives
@@gnilca_
Thanks for the additional information.
@@deejay6869 💓
Ukrainian language sounds just magnificent. Not even comparable

Fun fact:
3:18 In Czech "list" means both, a letter or a leaf. And
4:38 "malovat" means to paint, and "rýsovat" is to do technical drawing.
Pretty much all the words were intelligible to me.
Yeah
In Russian and Czech 'to make' - dělat|делать, but in Ukrainian and other Slavic languages is 'robiť'
@@kizuki-chan Yes, "robota" in Czech means forced labour (archaic). It is a pan-slavic word and was borrowed into English "robot" from Čapek's R.U.R.
But yes, for example in Slovak "robiť" is used for work.
List is a very oldfashioned word for a letter in Czech, we do not use it. I think it's used in Slovak though.
List in russian mean both leaf and letter also. Malevat and risovat means drawing
@@kristybru4059 That's true. But it and variation of the word can be found referring to a newspaper "List" or some official decrees "listina"
Though Russian is harder to learn, because the grammar is more difficult, to me Russian sounds more pleasing to the ear.
But this is something that's quite personal so other people might think the opposite.
Thanks for this video with great examples.
To me, Russian has always been one of the most beautiful languages around, same with German most of the Eastern European languages.
Russian has its own beauty, but Ukrainian has been ranked as the 3rd most melodyc language in the word after Italian and French. We also heard only seperate words here, not sentences.
Ukrainian language is recognized as one of the most beautiful languages in the world. In 1934 in Paris, a beauty contest of languages was held. Ukrainian language ranked third, second only to French. lisimnik.ru/2015/06/rejting-samyx-krasivyx-yazykov-mira
@Oleksandr Konstantynov ха-ха.
@@alekshukhevych2644 "Ukrainian is the 3rd most melodyc language in the world" only in the Ukrainian propaganda. All the links to this "language-contest in old Europe" lead to UA and UA-Canadian web-sources. And nobody cares to show the primary source (newspaper, historic record or smth. ) Because this is just a patriotic fairy tale.
Russian and Ukrainian are textbook examples how same source language (Old Rus) slowly developed into sibling languages during Middle Ages due to external influences, political separation and natural evolution. Same as Romance but at a much more recent scale...
It is also worth adding that Ukrainian during its development was more focused on folk Slavonic and Russian on church Slavonic. That is why Ukrainian has more similarities with the Western Slavic languages and Russian with Bulgarian.

It feels to me as though Russian and Ukrainian have an approximately comparable similarity to say, various Romance languages. Like, sometimes I’ll read half a paragraph before I realise that it was actually in Portuguese the whole time and not Spanish, and so I’ve likely misunderstood everything because it was just a bunch of similar enough words that my mind assigned a Spanish-language meaning, or maybe even that half of it was similar enough to be mutually intelligible until it verrrry suddenly and definitively is NOT mutually intelligible anymore and becomes obviously and vastly different. It seems to me that the differences and similarities between Ukrainian and Russian are similar, where sometimes there’s enough overlap that you could likely get the gist, other times you think you get the gist but actually the meanings were entirely different, and then other times still there’s just no similarity at all aside from sort of sharing a language family and all that. Thank you for your informative video!
There are definitely a lot of similarities between all slavic languages. Knowing one is a Huuuge help in learning another one. Know Polish and a bit of Russian, makes reading and somewhat understand Ukrainian definitely possible. Unlike roman languages you can quickly tell the difference by the alphabet in slavic languages.

Respect from Ukraine bro:)
Seems like Russian "г" is pronounced (h) not (g) in Ukrainian;
Thank you for this video girls. Now I will go watching the other one on Nika's channel 😆
ah well that sometimes also happens in Russian too though, like мягкий or лёгкий.
In Ukrainian language that's common, but also some Russian speakers in Ukraine and south Russia pronounce г like х. Knowing that Russian isn't really diversified language, this pronunciation difference is nice though :)
Actually in Ukrainian language it's a different letter. There's "ґ" that sounds like Russian "г" and "г" that sounds softer.
@@georgiyburlachenko5750 give an example please!
@@sandro5019 ok its sounds like french "R"
Wow, my two favorite teachers collaborating! Супер!! 👍👍👍
This was a bewildering lesson back in the 2010s. It continued to be intimidating even by 2021. But having begun my Ukrainian studies in 2023, I have come across many pairs of words, where I am familiar with each pair, both the Russian word and the Ukrainian equivalent. But I have a long, long way to go before my Ukrainian knowledge will reach my Russian knowledge. Perhaps in two years, maybe more likely in four.
As a Spanish speaker my ear is certainly not trained, so that I couldn't ever tell one from another. Anyway, Russia and Ukraine are not enemies, and the Russian army has to stop the invasion now! They are killing their friends!
I really enjoyed watching the video, it's so fun!

Я учился русскому и польскому в университете. Это кошмар, когда ты иностранец и решаешь учиться таким языкам ВМЕСТЕ! Конечно, проще учиться польскому и украинскому, так как больше взаимны.
дуже добрий урок!)
Поганий.
Людина - человек, так и на русском говорят много людей на улице, а не много человек. Дитя ты ещё (ребенок). Очи тоже понятно, что глаза. Зручный, наверное, сходе с подручный, т.е. удобный (лёгкий). Смачный, ну и т.д. Все эти слова с разной частотой используются и в русском лексиконе. Поэтому не такие уж и разные слова. Вертолет - вертится и летает, гвинтокрыл - крыло и,как я понял, винт.
Вам не приходило в голову что многие из этих слов в русской речи как раз оказались с украинского?
Hi Daria!
You and Nika are simply amazing.
I will continue with my Russian Study..
До свидания!
It is really interesting in Bulgarian language we have similar words from both languages. Well done, good job.
Bulgarian is also a Slavic language.
You probably will also understand such Polish words like Żona (Zhona), Mąż (Mouzh), Dom, znam, serce (sertse), Żywot (Zhyvot), Głowa (Gwova)
"thank you both so much" for lesson and video.
very cool, it's like portuguese and spanish, it's very similar but it can confuse because there's a lot of different things and meanings...
thanks from brazil !!
Both languages are beautiful, though I speak neither
to me, there is some difference but for someone who doesn't know either language, they both sound the same and are impossible to distinguish.
Somehow different, but not very different. They both are East Slavic languages. Such differences in speaking are just considered dialects of the same language in many other European languages.
The situation with Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian is kind of comparable linguistically to the one with Danish, Norwegian and Swedish.
no, there are many differences in grammar too:)
There are also similarities between Russian and Bulgarian, but Bulgarian grammar is easier
we basically learned the alphabet from Bulgaria :D
and that is how Ukrainian is more similar to Polish. Anyway our languages are similar and it is great. Bracia slowianie. Pozdrawiam, Pozdravliaju, priviet , paka, vsjevo horoshevo, all the best, wszystkiego najlepszego:))))
vocabulary is close to west slavic but grammar is close to belarusian and russian
There is so much similarity between them. It’s kind of like Spanish and Portuguese. I’m curious: How recently were they the same language? When did they branch off from each other?
have never been, it is the result of centuries of Russification of the Ukrainian language, they tried to make it similar to Russian in order to spread the narrative of "brotherly peoples", which we have never been, Soviet propaganda)
this is kinda ironic now...
ок, ладно стоило сделать сравнение о схожести звучания языков и пошел срач что русские не славяне а украинский язык вообще не язык а воздух. Это странный срач получается, хотя все должны понимать что общий предок у этих языков один древнерусский. да я не спорю что русский язык отличается, но он отличается за счет старославянского да и тюркизмы есть, но и в украинском есть тюркизмы и латинизмы в обоих языках, а вот если бы в них не было б тюркизмов и латинизмов и влияния старославянского языка, то я думаю они бы звучали одинаково оба.
