With this one i posted above (Dobrogo rankoo) it should have a h not g (Dobroho) as Ukrainian has two phonemes - one that corresponds to the English "h", and another that corresponds to the English hard "g."
Sorry guys its a common mistake with people that speak Russian to translate it as a g not a h Nat slaps me everytime i get it wrong

Excellent! It is fun to see how some words are the same/similar to Russian, but others are very different.

Keep up the great work!

Quote from: Muzh_1 on September 03, 2010, 09:17:48 AM

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.

Sorry Muzh i forgot to respond back to you you would have heard them say (But Oberechna) the But is pronounced the same as the u in (Put: i put it on the table) roughly translated it means be careful.

There seem to be 3 words in Ukrainian meaning blue:

1. Сіній (seenee)

2. Блакитний (blakitnee)

3. Голубий (holoobee)

Can anyone enlighten me - What is the difference between the 3 words?

Дякую

1. (seenee)

Seenee is the Russian word for dark blue.

Quote

Голубий (holoobee)

Similar to the Russian "Galooboy" which would be light blue. Is "Г" not "G" in Ukrainian?

I guess a significant overlap of words is to be expected.

Be carefull using Galooboy Manny as it means gay boy or poofter in Russian
