[MND]

[MND]

I can give it a go

Всі люди народжуються вільними і рівними у своїй гідності та правах. Вони наділені розумом і совістю і повинні діяти у відношенні один до одного в дусі братерства.

Vsi ljudy narodžujut'sja vil'nymy i rivnymy u svojij hidnosti ta pravax. Vony nadileni rozumom i sovistju i povynni dijaty u vidnošenni odyn do odnoho v dusi braterstva.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Thats where I went wrong, started learning Russian then met my wife who's family all speak Ukrainian (although they speak Russian too) its bloody hard work getting back into it, Ukrainian seems much  harder to me for some reason? Even now I think I still know more Russian than Ukrainian, and both are pretty limited.

Its harder for me to mate please can also be прошу Proshu or будь ласка Bud Laska

example Proshu skazati, de tut tualet? Where is the toilet, please

Yes Proshu, thats another one  


.......and what makes it worse, is that I can be happily trying to take in what they are saying (slowly) and ready formulating an answer (yes my brain works slow at this   ) and all of a sudden they will throw me a curve ball and answer in Russian  

I was out with Ira yesterday at a market, I picked up bits and pieces of what the conversation was about, then lo and behold the two of them for some reason started talking in Russian instead of Ukrainian, I am sure it is to keep my brain fuddled   worst of it is, you never can be sure when this is going to happen, it just seems to have a mind of its own, this dual language banter  

[Chris]

A few more

dobre - good

dohze dobre - very good

[Chris]

Tak - yes

Ni - no

They love to swap languages around they will speak either Ukrainian, Russian or the two mixed together thats what has influenced my Russian to be a combination at times of the two languages together.

Everytime I got on the Metro I heard something this:

обережність - Caution

Actually it sounded more like Oberechna. So I would appreciate if some one would elucidate me.
