Чи тут хтось говорить англійською?
While I certainly don’t claim to be able to speak the Ukrainian language, apart from knowing some basic greetings, my interest in it has developed recently. Partly because I found out that my husband is 1/4 Ukrainian, and hence I now have a Ukrainian surname. Coming from an Anglo ancestry, and being several generations (roughly 7 to 9) Australian (in some lines of my family), I thought marrying someone descended from Eastern Europe sounded marvellously exotic. But then again, me being Australian probably sounds exotic to other people.
So, from time to time I figured I might post some information on the language and culture, as I’m learning it, to share with others who are interested.
