yes, it happens. Ideally, the best is to learn the language from the scratch, otherwise you will mix two languages, but its ok - just make your vocabulary grow and substitute russian words with ukrainian.

I don't remember anyone in my family use that term for blue, we said 'holybiy'. And for purple, we said 'fioletoviy'. and for red, 'chervoniy'. Must be a dialect thing. My parents probably know those official names for colors, but I don't.

@UTubeGirlOnline 'holybiy' and 'fioletoviy' came from Russian, and, red is 'chervoniy'.

@marfabuchanka thanks. It's so funny, I called my mom an hour ago (before you responded) and she said the opposite...she's from Ivano Frankivsk. :) It's so hard for me to be fluent in Ukrainian because I feel like there are two Ukie languages and then there's Odessa Ukra/Russian...but I'm going to keep trying!

[marfabuchanka]

@UTubeGirlOnline - Just check with good dictionary - its that easy. BTW: every language has several versions - official, literature, street... but it is still the one language. People choose what version they talk/ or what level of language education they get. Some times it is really difficult to speak good Ukrainian without proper education - because Ukrainian has been mixed with Russian very greatly that people forgot which is which :):):)

@marfabuchanka Thanks for the tip...I put way too much pressure on myself to talk perfect Ukrainian, and you're right, I'd need to get higher education to get it down. So I'll just keep going with what I know and will build on it, and I have a decent foundation. My Russian is 3 times worse, I don't even try to speak it...I'm so bad at it.
