There are quite a few Ukrainian speakers here in western Canada. Two former premiers, one of Alberta and one of Saskatchewan only spoke Ukrainian until they were about five years old.
Very interesting Taya, I’m glad you had the time to do this😊
I have often experimented using google translate. If you select a word in English and translate it into Russian and listen to the translation, then translate the same English word into Ukrainian and listen to the translation, the Ukrainian translation sounds more pleasant.
The Russian consonants are harsher, especially for a Russian speaker from the north.
Funny they say Russian is more simillar to South Slavic or Bulgarian but in general it seems both are simillar but in different way, for example Gorod/Grad and Misto/Mjesto are both present in South Slavic, Grad is a City but Misto/Mjesto is a Place, a Town, a spot (Tvoje misto na kauču) to sit or something like that .
Ukrajinski Sounds a more musical almost like people are singing a bit.
The South Slavic influence in Russian comes from Church Slavonic.
@@stefanreichenberger5091 Which is close to Bulgarian or some even say it is old Bulgarian
Grad becomes hrad in some Slavic languages and means castle. One finds cities occurring near castles. Prague has two.
@@kevin.keen.socialmedia Grad is a City or a Castle but it is also Hail at least in Croatian, other name for Hail is Krupa/Tuča
Ukrainian sounds like dog barking to me
Both languages were quickly put together, without thorough analysis. This was organized by Kopitar, who was employed in Vienna in the Slavic counter-propaganda department. And they prevented the transitory Greek-Catholic religion from changing to Catholicism, as in the Balkans, because they prevented the unification of Poles and Ukrainians into one larger nation. Kopitar also organized the creation of the Serbian language as a counterweight to the Croats who created the Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian languages because they wanted to unite with the Croats. Thus, it was easier to rule several smaller nations than one large one. The French and the English did the same by dividing the German and Italian language, which have now virtually merged into one.
Good explanation for the FAQ. When I see this question I usually just say that russians don't understand Ukrainian. Just like we Finns don't understand Estonian although it's very similiar and have lots of same words.
I am somewhat fluent in Russian and have been learning a little Ukrainian since the war started. I find Ukrainian sounds to more difficult to pronounce. Ukrainian seems softer to me, with the consonant sounds sometimes being unarticulated, I can't even hear them. Слава Україні
In Ukrainian, soft t's and d's are much rarer. The infinitive suffix is a good marker to distinguish the two languages.
This is an interesting topic and there is a lot to say about it. First point: if you learn another language you hear it through the air, but when you speak you hear your own words through your head. You will be surprised how different it sounds if you hear your own words from a tape recorder!
Second point: even though languages have the same origin they will develop differently and become separate even if a third person might have difficulty to make the difference. Also it may reflect in the written language. Example: Danes have æ and ø, Swedes have ä and ö. In principle they should be the same, but the pronunciation is quite different.
Third point: Ukrainian is part of the Slavic subgroup of the Indo-European languages. We actually have a lot of words with a common origin, especially when it comes to farming. 4:21 Milk, mjölk (Swedish), mælk (Danish), Malako (Russian), Moloko (Ukrainian) is a good example. I was surprised when I realized that sne in Danish and sneg in Russian both means snow.
Like in English where we use a schwa sound for unstressed vowels like in "ago" and "level." It seems like the Russian language has a similar thing. An example is moloko/"malako." Ukrainian retains its full vowel sounds.
In russian you pronounce maloko but still spell moloko. A other example the word what in russian you pronounce shto but write chto.
The other confusing part is native speakers do not think about the grammar it just flows when you construct a sentence what sounds right and when you try to do this in ukrainian forget it the endings are different sometimes to a point where the core word becomes foreign.
I have to admit, that I hardly can tell apart slavic languages at all. But by watching street interviews with Ukrainians and Russians I noticed the differences between Ukr. yes - tak - and russ. yes - da resp. no - njet / ni . Or, as you mentioned, the difference between the h-sound and the g-sound ( _propahanda_ vs. _propaganda_ ).
Interestingly the Ukr. word for roof is practically identical to the German word (Dach). That comes probably from the Austrians.
Hello Dear Taya, happy to see you again and you look great, very useful video!! Love and Greetings from Hellas!
Hi thank you for explaining the difference it's very complicated I'm still trying but slowly understanding
Very interesting topic! Thank you!
Why do Americans ask about differences between Ukrainian and Russian languages? Because until 1991 they were the same country, so most who had no real experience with either culture had no expectation of vastly different languages.
Is not the same country. Both was part of URSS. Dummy
Hi .I am from India
Both alphabets have ten letters too many, they made things too complicated.
To be honest the two sound very similar to me.
Quite interesting. I know some ethnic Ukrainian expats from Melitopol who did not speak Ukrainian at all, only Russian and English. One of their family moved to Kyiv about 12 years ago and had to learn Ukrainian to attend university.
It is interesting that there are some similarities to Western Slavic like Czech. They have city: mesto and hrad=forteresse, while grad exists in Serbian as well. Also in some other words there seem to be similarities to Czech. However, each of those languages has something exceptionel unique, too. I once heard an example of Ukrainian on the web and that did not sound similar to Russian at all. Maybe it depends a bit on the background of the speaker/subject/region, but in that case I was really surprised how different it was. In other cases it was less obvious and the words are almost the same. In your example my attribution failed. I think I would need quite some amount of conversation to distinguish it savely from Russian, but that is lack of experience and I never learnt one of the two languages.
To untrained American ears the two languages sound almost identical. Also, the fact both of them use a Cyrillic alphabet adds to the confusion. The only reason I can tell any difference is because I've been studying Ukranian for about two months. The names of the months are a complete giveaway.
Yes I understand that, that’s why I made this video 😊
That's because you have chances to hear only Russian speakers speaking "Ukrainian. Their phonetics are world apart. Ukrainian doesn't have so many soft consonants also the voices are lower.
Ukrainian so called language is a dialect of Russian. It was a Russian language that got influenced by Polish and Serbo-Croatian.

The difference is that Ukranïan is a beautiful language

Thats very interesting. for the difference in the alpabet imedatly as comparion to Ukrainan -Russian , German - Hungary came to my mind. both have the latin alpabeth but in hungarian some letters exist (often combination of two letters) who doesn exist in the german alpabet or some who are differend pronunced. For the spken language diffrencs and partial whole diffrence words between russian and Ukrainan it remindes me about the diffrence between Swiss German and written German /Germanys German.
спасибо taya, im still learning. 👍
I think you summed it up at 1:28😂 But, yes, I do understand the differences somewhat since you explained it😊
Apostrophe is pronounced "uh·paw·struh·fee"
Ukrainian language is way older than ruzzian. It has the most common words with Belarusian, Polish and Slovak, - not with ruzzian.
I Taya,
Why are there 2 letters showed on the left? I do not understand! : Is it uppercase/lowercase?
Thank you.
Dude, idiot am i.
Of course, you have 2 on the right cause you start with one letter symbol in Russian.
And 2 different on the left when the Ukr Equivalent is 2 letters.
You'r a good teacher: your explanations are clear and i like the way you says the letters, the way you apply yourself saying the sounds of letters very precise.
Apostrophe ( ' ) is pronounced Ah pahs tra fee with the stress on the second syllable, "pahs."
Thank you for sharing.
To me, Ukrainian has a special phonology.
It is as interesting as an English learner having a conversation with a British person.
... Excellent description of differences. Far more coherent than me trying to explain how people in New Orleans talk. Good work Taya 👏
Ukrainian sounds archaic, outdated for a russian who doesn't know it. Like it did not develop for the last two hundreds years. My great-grandmother, born in 1903 and lived in a remote village, sounded similar, althouth she spoke russian.
Very. very useful video, Taya! Long time I was looking for such explanation to be able to catch the differences in spoken language, and you hit the nail! Thank you.
for 'shower' dush its close to the latin languages. in portuguese its ducha
What you were saying as i an english speaker was confusing at times,you should do the russian pronunciation then the ukrainian equivalent when applicable,well presented though and informative,you looked great well done tho,use sentences to describe it better.
Very good explanation, Taya!
Thank you for explaining the difference between the Ukrainian and the Russian language to us, Taya.
Duzhe kruto! Dyakuyu!
Finally, do Ukrainians understand other Slavic languages like Polish or Slovak?
Ukrainian and russian languages are totally different. As estonian, i speak some russian, because it was mandatory at school, and understand most of it . But watching ukrainian news about war, i only recognise few words. Like estonian ahd finnish, sound alike, but only few words mean same thing. Slava ukraini!
Ukrainian so called language is a dialect of Russian. It was a Russian language that got influenced by Polish and Serbo-Croatian.
Thank you for this video Taya. Could you add a few seconds between the comparative words in each language? I watch your content on my phone and it's hard to find the precise moment where you give your comparisons.
To me Ukrainian sounds are sharp and clear, whereas Russian sounds slurred and mumbled. Also, I notice the lack of the Russian yeri in Ukranian.
And Hi means No
Part of Ukraine was once under the Austrian Hungarian Empire. The Austro Hungarian empire didn’t apply any sort of bans on language, or prevent publishing books in Ukrainian and teaching and speaking it like Russia did. This helped the Ukrainian language survive and its literature to even flourish. Ironically at the time Russia was claiming to be the defender of Slavic unity. The letter was pure propaganda.
It's a bit more complex, since the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was also applied bans, but for different reason. Here (I'm Hungarian) the Government tried to reach that Ukrainians were assimilated through heavy methods and also any literature in Ukrainian about Slavic unity was banned also (The then rusin movement in West Ukraine, now a dialect and a part of Ukrainians are named Rusin), while the situation was opposite on the Russian side. They've banned the literature mainly about Ukrainian sovereignty.
The later era ( Ukraine in SU), also had different politics about ukrainization and deukrainization in different times.
Being a student in SU at 80-ies, I was very surprised to find out that in the education at university level (IT at that time) books in Ukrainian were used in Harkov and Kiev, since I'd expected that in SU everyone uses Russian before I've got there.
On these towns however people on the streets were speaking Russian, so the environment was real double (even if very similar) language.
@@gyorgyschiff7684 You miss the point. Russia actually banned the actual teaching of the Ukrainian language. Austria Hungary did not ban the language. The Hapsbergs were happy with a multi-ethnic empire. Arch Duke Ferdinand even married a Czech. Russia for a long time banned printing in the Ukrainian language and also banned importing books printed in Ukrainian. These restrictions were only partially lifted in Tsarist controlled Ukraine till 1905 and even then it was not permitted to make public political statements in the language. They did not end until Russia's defeat in WW1 and the Armistice of Brest Litrovesk Germany compelled forced Russia to give Ukraine independence. The Austro Hungarian Empire never banned the language itself. Russia did.
-The political literature on slavic unity was to a large part Russian propaganda directed at expanding the Russian empire and had little to do with actual Slavic unity. Russian propaganda is not new. Its been around since the Tsars.
Ukrainian so called language is a dialect of Russian. It was a Russian language that got influenced by Polish and Serbo-Croatian.
You just have a innate gift of picking up languages easily. After listening to you explain the difference between the Ukraine and Russian languages, I bought me a bottle of Hard Liquor to drank because my head was spinning. You are a very talented and intelligent and beautiful person. Take care,be safe.
Hahahah
In terms of education, which languages do Ukrainian children/young teens learn at school?
your accent is so cute lol
GREAT TUTORIAL TAYA- WANT TO LEARN UKRANIAN😊
Very clear explanation👍
My entire family is from Ukraine mainly Kharkov but they all spoke only Russian i grew up learning Russian. They came to America in 1978 and then it was Soviet Union. It was very strange to me when i got older and first heard Ukrainian. It just sounded wrong to me lol
Kharkiv was russianized in the 2nd half of the 19th century, but a sizeable Ukrainian-speaking community had been present there till the 2nd half of the 20th century. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine has greatly promoted the use of the Ukrainian language in the city, now Kharkivers tend to use both languages in their everyday life and some even have completely switched to Ukrainian.
There is just no way to learn ukrainian after knowing russian you are better off learning it as some other native lamguage speaker. There are just enough similarities to confuse you to a point where you do not know if the words are different in ukrainian. And enough differences where you may understand the beginning of a sentence but not the end usually the most important part. There are people in eastern ukraine that do not speak ukrainian at all.
Is Ukrainian ever written using the latin alphabet ?
Hi new to your channel iam watching from Northeast India
Hey, Taya California. I need you to teach me Ukrainian before i go to Ukraine.
One is spoken by free people, the other is not. Slava Ukraine 👍🏾
🇬🇧💰🇺🇦💸 for my experience of the Ukraine language as you say is a little bit like Russian but I have spent a lot of time in Bulgaria and found the language partly is the same as Russian Italian Ukraine and English and French certain words always stay in my mind because they remind me of something such as private and double din what language becomes easier when you hear it all the time and everybody understands cash money speaks all languages a money always travels better in the Ukraine you are always able to travel first class 🇺🇦💰💳🙏
The difference is when the western part of the century was Polonized, and the eastern part Russified, and now Polish Surdzhak is presented as a Ukrainian language.
Ukrainian existed by the 9th-11th centuries AD, when ruZZia was a forest and a marsh. Ukrainian state, language, culture each is way older than Muscovite. Russia, Rus means a Scandinavian tribe, it was the name of Ukraine, that the Mongolian outpost Muscovy stole centuries later. Even Muscovites themselves used Muscovite, Muscovy until the 17th century. Kyiv is 600 year older than Moscow.
@@BlaiseMonton The saying goes that history is a whore. And now Taya is under palm trees that are not a thousand years old and not Ukrainian.
@@BlaiseMontonBut there were Ukraine at that tme, it was Rus.
@@vz5835 yes, that is what I was telling. Rus=Ukraine, and it means a Scandinavian/Swedish tribe whose leaders founded the Kyivan Rus (Old Ukraine) in the 9th century.

Hi Glad all ok

Taya 👏
It's Taya with you... A little Olga flavor to start the video!
Cool video Taya, always love learning things like this!
Always interesting Taya. You have amazing language skills.
Ukrainian phonetically sounds nicer than Russian to my American ears
Ukrainian so called language is a dialect of Russian. It was a Russian language that got influenced by Polish and Serbo-Croatian.
All the different endings makes it really hard for me to learn as an American. I am still trying though.
I can’t even imagine. But you can do it!
To my untrained ear, Russian pronunciation sounds more crisp or harsh. But looking at a map from 500 years ago, I presume the phonetics and vocabularly slowly evolved as Russia expanded/invaded into many non-Slavic regions and absorbed them.
I always thought it was interesting that some Russian aristocrats claimed Tatar ancestry, or that some Tatar/Turkic words entered the Russian vocabularly since Turkic was originally an East Asian language and culture. Semi-nomadic Turkic clans used to dominate the Mongolian and Eurasian steppe in ancient times.
You are a. Beautiful. Teacher and. I. Look. Foward. To. Your blogs😊
+100 years of russian propaganda: “Ukrainian is just a dialect of russian spoken by ‘little russians’”
Así es, a los ucranianos en la antigüedad se los conocía como rutenos(rusos pequeños), de Rutenia.
Además el idioma ucraniano fue el resultado de haber sido modificado, a través de la conquistas polacas.
Esta chica no se cansa de su propaganda, distorsionando la historia, y solo por complacer a su amo anglosajón.
I actually learned a lot. What I appreciated was how the alphabet was listed , and the list of the months with all the comparisons in one place lol. It put it in order that I am familiar with :) I hope all of Ukraine's gardens are overflowing with good things to eat (Especially Grandmothers garden ;) And what does :))) mean? I hope it isn't rude I have seen it playing online video games
Thank you for the lesson.😊
Hi Taya !! Cool vid -- It's difficult for me to tell the difference between spoken Ukrainian and Russian -- But I can usually see the difference in the written languages --- I think many Westerners are interested because before the war many Ukrainians spoke Russian or hybrid Russian/Ukrainian as their first language and now Ukraine, as a whole country, is moving away from the Russian language and towards the Ukrainian language
Isn't "polonitsa" now a dangerous weapon?
(Damn war, slava Ukraini)
wow. I have been learning Ukrainian with a friend for a few months. When you did the test, ofc I knew the Ukrainian from the russian. but I didn't realize that they do sound different. Russian sounds a bit harsher? I guess? but anyway, nice explanation. It's nice to see it while I am also learning Ukrainian :D
Ukrainian so called language is a dialect of Russian. It was a Russian language that got influenced by Polish and Serbo-Croatian.
It is very inappropriate to publicly compare Ukrainian and Russian, and imply that they are so close, given the circumstances and history, when Russian always tried to overshadow and ban Ukrainian in Ukraine. Besides, Ukrainian is more similar to Belorussian, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Serbian than Russian.
Many Ukrainian words are similar to Polish
I can't understand why Ukrainian need to speak Russian!
We don’t need to speak Russian! But since whole or parts of Ukraine were under Russian control, we were forced to learn Russian!
Thank you Taya for that. ❤to💙💛
Did you ever thought of really changing your last name to Ukraine instead of Yeremiy? 😅
That'll be interesting though
Gott Schütze alle Ukrainer 🙏🇩🇪❤️🇺🇦🤝💯

привіт, cлава україні і шана героям.
You have a Russian accent when speaking English.
Ella es del Dombas, y le arroja 💩 a los rusos, así de traicionera a sus antepasados es está chica.
Ukrainian is just a Russian dialect. Think of American and British English.
Also huge population in Ukraine just speaks Russian.
NO WRONG
Making Kiev to Kyiv doesn't make you a separate country.
Exacto, y además el dialecto ucraniano es el resultado de la modificación de la lengua madre eslava, a través de las conquistas polacas.

Has any one told you . Ukrane people show the bottom teeth all the time. English is hard. Wrinkle. Pronounced Rinkle.
Australian Slang . Ow ya Goin. ( how are you going ). Didya ave a good week end. 😊
How do you pronounce the constant waving of the left hand? Are you able to speak without this?
I think lots of western people want to understand Ukrainian.
El ruso deriva del ucraniano
Sí
Falso mentiroso, el ucraniano es una lengua modificada, cuando fueron conquistados por los polacos(la mal comunidad Polonia lituania)

Hi dear how are you ❤️
TAYA- I THINK THE REASON AMERICANS ASK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN BECAUSE THE PERCEPTION THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE- THAT UKRANIANS ARE “LITTLE RUSSIANS” WITH NO DISTINCT CULTURE. YOUR TUTORIAL (WHICH WAS GREAT) SHOWS THAT THE PERCEPTION IS NOT TRUE. IN FACT UKRANIAN SOUNDS CULTURALLY PURER AS A DISTINCT CULTURE. PUTIN AND RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA BLASTING EVERYWHERE
I have Ukrainian neighbor friend who is married to a Russian Fella! They are such a wonderful couple! Both are the nicest people in the world!❤
It is no problem with the people! The problem is the race biologists who are now active again!💩
Thanks, that was helpful. For me, The reason I have trouble differentiating between Ukrainian and russian written language is the same reason I have trouble telling the difference between Japanese, Korean and chinese characters. They are an unfamiliar character set to me and similar enough to each other that, unfortunately, I cannot tell them apart.
Another reason you may have been asked about the differences is for learning purposes. Shortly after the large scale invasion of Ukraine I decided to patronize Ukrainian TH-cam channels, but couldn't tell the difference between UA and ru, so I went looking for differences in the character sets. The easiest to remember is the 'i' character. So if I see an 'i' in a video title or description I know it's probably ok to watch...
Or maybe you just came across the standard, ignorant, racist, american a-holes while you were here. That's the most likely reason.
Различие украинского и русского языков в том что сами украинцы на украинском языке не говорят а только выпендриваются а реально говорят они на русском 😂 !
Así es, y además, el verdadero ucraniano es más ruso que ucraniano.
El supuesto proclamado ucraniano de la parte del oeste, son más desendientes, de polacos, austriacos, húngaros checos, alemanes.
Y un dato curioso, el nazi Stepan Bandera era de origen austro húngaro.
Различие украинского и русского языков в том что ЙБНРСН по-украински пишется через Й. За русским кораблйом.
So ... orc's are douchebags?😂Слава Україні!
