I have a question......Almost every question in English starts with "who, what, when, where, how and why"....I think learning all these would be helpful. I do realize you did "where and what" in this video...could you do the others as well. THANX!

[MrLealCunha]

I love your videos!

I'm from Croatia but i have ukrainian and russian origins, so i'm trying to learn a little bit of ukrainian languague. You are awesome! Thanks ;)

Btw. We've got similar words in croatian, like godina=year !

[IIIZEPHYROSIII]

@alexscream1 no you're a bit wrong my friend cos a word "godina" in ukrainian means "an hour" but in russian it means "year" . That is "god" in Russian, not godina. In Ukrainian they say a word "chas" and it's the "time" but in russian "chas" means "an hour". I know it's kinda confusing but still :)

[rachelkanicki]

Mariya! I love your videos! I would like to ask you a strange favor, probably not one that you've heard before... (it is nothing perverted or illegal! haha) it has to do with my Ukrainian grandfather who is ill and has trouble communicating in English. I added you as a friend so I could send you a message- if you'd be so kind as to hear me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[pennheat445]

I'm talking to my friends from Ukraine on facebook and when in English we do a smiley face like :) they do something like ))))) and I dont know what it means! is it a smiley face or what???

[marykiev]

@pennheat445 .yup, i'm guessing it's a lazy smiley face xD i use that too when i talk to my ukrainian/russian friends, but try to avoid it as much as i can when talking to ppl from other countries cuz it confuses them =)

[DenHiryuu]

@pennheat445

We do that in Norway tooXDD

[EmmiLorenz89]

@pennheat445

it means im many smiles and exitement) in russia we do the same like expressing lots of positive emotions and being very happy about smth

[MyAnarch]

Машо, будь-ласка, якщо бажаєш навчитися лаятись українською, просто напиши мені, а то можна подумати, з цього відео, що українці не знають власної мови. Як не прикро це казати.

[marykiev]

@MyAnarch відповідно до багатьох енциклопедій, лайливих слів в українській мові тільки 4. і навіщо іноземцям їх знати?

[Tesla249093]

Мені сподобалось)) продовжуй!

[tmh726]

thanks so much for these videos! my ancestry is Ukrainian (among other things) and I'm eager to learn the language and converse with my Ukrainian friends. I will also be attending a Ukrainian Orthodox seminary in a few years, so I would love to learn the basics of the language, and be ahead in class :-).

thanks again!

Do they shut off the water and lights after midnight in your apartment? I was in Ukraine with family for few days and it always irritated me when they cut the water and electricity in their blok at night. The roads were terrible too, police probably have trouble telling whether you are drunk or sober because you are swerving on road to avoid holes.

[10RevilOOliveR10]

i love you you are very cute X-P i have a lot of problems learning your language becouse my native language is spanish :S and is so hard, but i will try, have nice day :), take care

[DJGulinskiy]

There are in fact many Ukrainian words that derive from old Norse due to the founding of the Kievian Rus by Vikings. The most obvious example is the word for honey "Med" which is directly from the old Norse "Med", more commonly known to English speakers through the word "Mead" a honey-based fermented beverage.

[MeshugenahScientist]

RE: the word 'tak': meaning 'yes' in Ukrainian & 'thank you' in Danish.

The same utterance meaning 2 different things in 2 different languages without being related is referred to (by Linguists) by the weird term: "False Friends".

You may also want to look up "False Cognates".

Examples: (which I didn't just find on the Net)..

Lilla='Purple' in Danish; 'Little' in Swedish.

Others:

Ciao/Chow

Roma=City of Rome (Italian)

Roma=Gypsy (from the name of the Hindu god Ram of their ancestors

you should make a video of yourself singing Pidmanula Pidvela. I love this Ukrainian folk song.

[Vojak3]

Could you make a video with the main differences between ukrainian and russian? Would be very interesting.. :-)

[halynamyroslava]

Sorry, can't teach.

[halynamyroslava]

Sorry but she doesn't know Ukrainian well. She can't learn because her language has so many mistakes!!!

[msbrainz]

Short refrence to nordic influence: a danish (i believe...) viking was king of the kyivska-rus, so maybe tak is from there....

[hugobosstachini]

Hi I just fell on your videos and they're quite good. I'm learning Ukrainian grammar/conjugaton etc... right now and its been about 2-3 months. Actually I wanted to learn Russian but bizzarly I found Ukrainian much more easier. Great videos I hope to see more of you. ;)

[karlosp1983]

I never learnt any Ukrainian from my granddad, he came to the UK in the second world war and he never taught me any.. Your vids are cool and it is nice to actually learn a bit.

[Tanbris333]

you have to remember, that between Ukraine and Germany is Poland, and all those conotations are also in Polish, like usually also in Russian... You're doing great job, and thank you. Greets from Kraków.

[Nadav34]

Find book: Slenh Suchasnoyi Ukrayins'koyi movy. There u will see all words u need to know, but Mariya is right.. If you want to "Matyuhatys'" best to use Russian words. Moskali are good at that.

[Nadav34]

Os' taka brudna kurva! Vona skozha yak zhydivka. And example :)

[ParkerKennith]

i love L xD & ur accent & i agree, L is awesome ^-^

[MrDenka35]

why not - skagit' byd'laska jaka goduna?

[SpottedEagle2222]

Are you from the Ukraine??? Or are you a student just living there??? As part of a foreign exchange program???

[marykiev]

@PirateXzibit this means 'whore' in general, but we use it as 'f*ck' or 'shit', u know, out of frustration or anger))

NOT a way to call a woman or start a conversation)))

[thatUkrainianguy]

@marykiev lol, good to know. :-)



[fghjhgf99]

@PirateXzibit haha you suck.

[IIIZEPHYROSIII]

@PirateXzibit very very very very bad/ it's something like douchebag or even worse than a whore

[dreakfansunite]

Its so weird listening to Ukrianian Ukrainian compared to Canadian Ukrainian

[Nadav34]

Thats because Ukrainian in canada and the USA is the TRUE ukrainian before all the russian got in to it!!! Proshu for instance instead of bud' laska.. V as W at end of words, etc.. Tak bil'she naprykladiw.

[abruzz0]

I'd like to learn Ukrainian once I become fluent in Russian. I've been studying Russian for a year and a half now, and after seeing only a few videos about Ukrainian, I notice quite a few similarities along with many differences. I've also developed a soft spot for Ukrainian girls, too... which of course means that I love your videos, although I've only seen 2.

[LAWMANSIONPENRYN]

In Cornwall at Falmouth where Ukrainians came by Ship to stay here in 1948 , I am enjoying the experience of your teaching.

Last Summer I was staying in Kiev and I am very happy to have found a home in West Ukraine. Oh! God ! I hope to learn

to communicate in the ukranian language.

best wishes from Peter Bradshaw, God Bless! well done !

[jwgaff]

How entralling it is to listen and learn from you. Your English is wonderfully, Warming. I was glad to see the 2nd ( Learn Ukrainian - vid ) posted on my Brithday, yay,, lol. Maybe, soon you can do some Ukrainian cooking? I did stumble onto your vids, ( when you were sad ) So glad to see you Happy. Enjoy your talent. Also, glad to see you put more ( captions- what you are saying - in type ) as you Teach us. "Langauge is Power". The Pulse of the world, is just a click away.

[KennyWrites]

Thanks for the second lesson. How about some more restaurant words, like

Can I have a Beer, please?

Can I have a glass of wine?

Please bring the check.

Where is the bathroom?

Thanks!

[TheSlinq]

You should definitely carry on doing these videos. You have a natural talent for being in front of a camera and if you keep working at it you'll go far.

I'm planning a trip to Kiev next year so I did a search for "Basic Ukranian" and found your video. It was the best beginners' Ukranian tutorial I could find. I ended up watching most of your video blog.

You're at your best when you've prepared what you're going to say and you're talking about something you're passionate about. Keep at it!

[kos5000]

Hi, I am Russian! Nice to learn Ukrainian! I am from Siberia in Russia! Now I live in Holland.

I was just amazed by you talking English!

But can you tell in your vids some more about Ukrainian words which are connected witch Russian!?

[GTAIVFan17]

lol isn't Ukranian and Rusian the same? lol

[Angelasgf]

Hi girl,

Thanks so much for this wonderful video again, am looking forward to getting more of these! It's so difficult for me with regards to the grammar and all the different endings of words! Help!
