One of the earliest cross-overs from English to Ukrainian took place about 150 years ago. Early Ukrainian immigrants in the English speaking environment invented the verb “бадрувати” meaning to bother as in “не бадруй мене”, “don’t bother me”. It’s an old phenomenon. I always enjoy your lessons. You are doing a great job. Слава Україні!

Diversity is a strength, not a weakness; In both language and culture in general (food especially!). There are "heaps" of words that I, as a "Yank" prefer to use over my own, because they better describe an emotion or a situation. It happens in the States a lot with Mexican or Spanish words. Por ejemplo, my adult cat is old, but tiny and scared of everything. Her name is Kitten, because she never got any bigger than one, but most people know her as Pollito. Thanks for the video and your explanations!

@@lanamack1558 well, not exactly. A notebook is technically a specific type of laptop that's small and lightweight. However, when a native English speaker hears 'notebook', the first think they think of is what Ukrainians call a 'copybook', i.e. a book with blank pages for taking notes. Think of the film 'The Notebook' with Ryan Gosling - the name is not referring to a computer, is it? :)

Героям слава! There's a couple variations of quotes about the English language I read years ago that come to mind, regarding borrowing words from other languages: “English is not a language, it’s three languages wearing a trench coat pretending to be one.” "English is nothing if not inconsistent. It’s a language that ambushes other languages in dark alleys and picks their pockets for loose grammar and spare vocabulary."

I'm of Ukrainian decent (parents were immigrants). Something I've always wondered is why the "g" sound in English becomes "h" when there is the letter "ґ" in Ukrainian.
@Jefflightning1291 7 ай бұрын
Well, for a long time, ґ was banned during Soviet times, so from 1933 until 1990, it was never used. In regards to why "г" is 'h', from what I read and understand, originally, like most other languages that use "г", it sounded like "g" like in give, but in Ukrainian, around the 13th century, it changed to a a voiced velar fricative (think like a very rough g/gh), and then eventually it lost that articulation in the 16th century, and it became a voiced glottal fricative (i.e. 'h' but with more air escaping and the vocal cords loosely vibrating). One way they did this to represent "g" was to use the digraph "кг", but they eventually was dropped. However, even today, it is inconsistently transliterated. For example, I sometimes see Сергій/Serhiy put as Sergiy. I think part of it is because, at least in English, "h" is almost always followed by a vowel or y, or if it part of a digraph, such as ch, kh, sh, or gh, often with the 'h' being silent. Also the voiced glottal fricative, represented by 'г', is not a native phoneme of English, at least not in North America. We have the voiceless 'h', but not the other one. But 'g' in English can also be like 'j' as in genre or judge, especially from words of French origin. So English is a very complicated language.

English uses a lot of diphthongs, or gliding vowels, such as in drought and I think it is because English, while it does get a lot of words from Greek, Latin, and Romance languages, is a Germanic language, more specifically, West Germanic. Dutch and German are in the same branch and it is very common to have two adjacent vowels.

There also are languages with asymmetric intelligibility, which is where both languages are partially intelligible, but one group of speakers have more difficulty understanding the other language than the other way around. This often is due to differences in pronunciation, grammar, or orthography. For example, between Dutch and Afrikaans, the Dutch find it easier to understand Afrikaans than it is for Afrikaans to understand Dutch.

You tend to stress the second syllable or word more. I believe it is usually 'e-mail in English, but ee-'meil in the transcription. What is the meaning of "bulling"? It's seems a rather uncommon word for international use, meaning either 1) act like male cattle, or 2) leather polishing.

I fathom that it was easier to introduce Anglicisms in German-speaking countries as German and English are very similar languages. The main problem for me is the alphabet: Inna, I assume that you already learnt the Latin Alphabet at school; It´s very challenging to learn Cyrillic when for half of your life it was ignored by our authorities in a way that there was no option to choose (russian), at this time I didn´t even know that Ukraine has a separate language. After the "Orange revolution", I read some books like "The black book of communism" and I have talked about Ukraine with some former politicians in Austria and how important it would be to take this country into NATO, but these people were "Cold Warriors" and contemporaries of the russian occupation of Eastern Austria (1945-1955) and they still mistrusted anybody that used Cyrillic alphabet. I was a child when the civil wars in former Yugoslavia took place and the aggression there was a result of russian interference. After 2004, EU and NATO were busy to integrate the new members like Poland or Romania and to improve infrastructure there and this was still the case in early 2022. Now back to Ukrainian language: Inna, do you think that it would be better how to talk Ukrainian using the Latin Alphabet and learn how to write later. Just to understand orders when people from the West volunteer in reconstruction, for example. And when they are working in Ukraine, elementary school teachers can help them to learn writing. In this case, one would be forced to learn Cyrillic Alphabet - just my thoughts. What do you think? I´m glad that you are doing better, Inna! What a nice locket, it seems to shine. Kind regards from Central Europe, and sorry for writing too much again, Matthew 🟨🟦

I have to imagine that with the globalization of the world, that any new word anymore won't have a native language equivalent. That all languages of the world will just adopt the English word (written in their native script). Why make a second new word for something when everyone already understand the English word?

“Булінг” is a mistake. It is more like “булліʼинґ”. You fell into the trap of thinking that the Ukrainian is correct. But in English, it is pronounced and spelled “bullying”. The “u” in “pudding” sounds the same as in the word “put” not as in “putt”.

First of all, you have some mistakes in there, which makes it hard to understand what you mean. Example: Bulling There is no such word in English. There is: 1. (to) bull 2. billing 3. bullying All 3 have completely different meanings. There is also a difference between to click and the click. But the most important is: Most of what you listed are no actual anglicisms. It's simply people being lazy to actually use the own words. Some do it to sound cool, some do it makes themselves look smart (which it obviously doesn't) but it definitely isn't because those are anglicism in Ukrainian. A good example would have been (even tho it's German): Butterbrot - бутерброд I don't know your intent but I'd assume you are a smart person, which is why this video looks like you are frantically trying to find some common ground for Ukrainians and English-speaking people. There are anglicism, yes and it's ok to name those but trying to present something as something it's not... I don't know... I don't wanna judge on this on.
