In Spanish we have something similar with “and”= y, e depending on phonetics. Thanks for your vídeos! Slava Ukraïni!

Thank you for explaining when to use і and when to use та. So there is a clear answer on which is better to use in a sentence. Duolingo didn’t introduce us to й so that was new.

Thank you! I always just assumed they were interchangeable! You set me straight. However, in English we call these words "conjunctions" and not "units". The main ones are "and", "or", and "but.

@louishermann7676 2 жыл бұрын

Was wondering the same. Having learned a little Russian, I thought it might have been either a more common colloquial form, or a diminutive used to express closeness or affection. I looked up the diminutives and found "-очка, -ечка: квітка - квіточка (little flower), донька - донечка (daughter);" Still not the same, but I noticed they used "донька" as the root, so long story short, I also don't know and am curious.

@agneswerner8366 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, I would very much love to know as well! I hear and see written both words in different dictionaries. But which one is used in which situation?

@MaxiGouogle 2 жыл бұрын

Донька, донечка - Yes, diminutive, affectionate. More often used to own daughter.

@sliotakerzo5551 Жыл бұрын

Both дочка and донька are used in Ukrainian. Дочка is used less in formal Ukrainian and it is cognate in origin to Russian дочка, аs diminutive from дочь (but in Ukrainian it is not diminutive now). Донька is probably partial cognate both to Russian дочь and дочка. It is not so much like the product of common origin but more like word-formation. Still it may be also phonetic variant of дочка and it is hard to say whether Russian дочка and Ukrainian донька are complete or just partial cognates (there are not precise definitions about it in the linguistic literature).There obviously are irregular sound changes and they are probably in root. And it is used more often in the formal Ukrainian.

@Anton_Danylchenko Жыл бұрын

Both words can be used in in common speech in any situation when you talk ABOUT the daughter. Дочка is more formal - so it is used in formal documents. Донька is more informal and is used mostly in common speech. Донька is more "affectionate". It also has three versions: доня, донька, донечка. Донечка is a diminutive and is used when you talk about your little daughter. When you speak to your daughter it is better to use доню or донечко (for little one) - both words are in vocative case here. The correct stress in mentioned words: дочкА, дОня, дОнька, дОнечка.

@Anton_Danylchenko Жыл бұрын

Yes. For question phrases "And you?" we use "а" for "and" - "А ти?". If it is not a question then "And you also" - "І ти теж" And for some other more complex rare cases we can sometimes use other words for English "and". а - and же - the same, but, and, as for і - and, also й - and невже - and проте - but, however, nevertheless, yet, albeit, and та - and, but

@oliverkersting2852 Жыл бұрын

What if the first noun ends with a consonant, but the second one starts with a vowel? і, й or тa?

@ABC_Guest Жыл бұрын

What is the preferred construction if the first word ends with a consonant, and the second starts with a vowel? For example: Син (i/й/та) Апельсин? My intuition is that "й" sounds the most natural, but that's just my guess.

In fact, breaking these rules is not rude, and you can use any unit that is easier for you to pronounce in a particular context (if it's easier for you to pronounce "i" after a vowel, you can do this without hesitation). It's a kind of freedom of speech and choice :)

I don't know how is it in Ukrainian, but in Polish it would be the same. Normally we only use 'i' as simple conjunction meaning 'and', but sometimes there is 'a' used, in two cases. First, questions starting with 'and': there is always 'a' instead of 'i', just like in 'a ty?', meaning 'and you?', just like in Ukrainian. 'And what do you think about it?'--'A co ty o tym myślisz?' Second, where we want to express distinction between two things, not connection. So in questions like 'what is the difference between X and Y?' it would rather be 'a' then 'i', so it's 'jaka jest różnica między X a Y?'. But you can use 'i' anyway, it just doesn't sound as proper as 'a'.
