I'm from Ukraine. 1 for us is really strange smiling to strangers, we make it only for friends or if we have a conversation with someone which whom we have a business. When you smile without reason (I'm not your friend) it can be so, that you want to sell me something and it's annoying.2.We speak russian really oft, but we know by sure both languages. Oh, yeas, these mistakes drive me crazy. 3. We always take off shoes at home. Only emergency service can walk into our house in shouse. In other situations that mean you don't appreciate owner of the house. 4. It's not cheap anymore here because of war. 😢5. Sometimes we try to be quiet, but not always. 😂😂😂😂
Lowering your volume down is definitely something Americans have trouble with, I've struggled to speak quietly even when people tell me they can hear me and don't need to speak so loud. It's because speaking so loud is pretty normal here especially when you are talking with a group of your buddies. Another really important thing to do if you are American or maybe another nationality is washing your hands before every meal. Alot of my friends told me they found that odd and no wonder America was getting hit so hard with the Kung Flu
I can tell ya one thing. I live in germany, but was raised ukrainian wise with ukrainian parents. HOW CAN GERMANS ACCEPT PEOPLE GOING WITH SHOES INTO THEIR APPARTEMENT
LOL...lived in Odesa for three years. Being a Southerner, I smiled all the time. People asked why I did..."Because I'm a happy person." Once they realized I was "that American", when I would smile they would.
Great video, I have been "schooled" on several of those faux pas...."Stop laughing, people think you crazy!", "Shhhhh, you talk too loud...annoying" another one you didn't mention, "Pachymoo, pachymoo, you like small child asking so many questions, you give me headache!" LOL , often makes me laugh even harder....LOL
It's not you fella! They're one of the most neurotic countries I've been to. Close the windows on a stuffy day coz they might get a chill! Don't whistle that's stupid! Wear winter clothes on the beach even on a warm day. Hide behind screens on the beach to change. Most girls won't go topless coz people will say they're prozzies. Won't have a communal shower with other girls in gyms.(Girls told me this btw) Instead have separate cubicles with bathing suits not bikinis. Odessa is slightly different to that and the younger ones are now saying FUCKKK THAT to the commie narcissistic USSR generation. Zashibis'
@@steffanhoffmann8937 Well, boys, grow up and overcome your fears :) Ukrainians are all traumatized by the 20th century which you only notice once you get out of the society, but there is really no need to be bitter about. Just accept it as a lesson and be a better person. I finally became a happy person only after I left Ukraine for studies for 2 years and then returned. Now I can clearly see all the bullshit that we suffer from and I am not afraid to say to somebody that they are wrong. And it is more fun to get in touch with people who also understand this and work for change :)

Am I right that some of these tips apply less to a dutch person than to someone of brit, italian, spanjard or especially someone from USA? Because in Dutch culture it is werid when saying how are you, to everyone you meet or being loud en overenthusiastic out of well meaning politeness. We are very direct and straightforward, which I prefer because it shows that you are truly interested in a someone or a conversation when you do ask how someone's day is. Anyway thanks for your little insight on Ukrainian culture. I can't wait to go on my planned roadtrip through Ukraine this spring.
Another one from my time in Moscow (not Ukraine, I know, so maybe different): a group of us (Western colleagues) went into our work canteen (in sep building over the road) and draped our winter coats over the back of our seats rather than using the (unsupervised) garderobe. An embarrassed waitress came to ask us to hang them in the correct place. I got the impression that outer coats are classed a bit like outdoor shoes - not clean for inside.
that's weird. In Ukraine it doesn't really matter: in canteens/cafes etc. you can leave your coats over the back of your seats or use the hanger. The only exception is when those places have a special garderobe room with an employee taking your coats and looking after them - then you'd better leave it there. But if you're entering someone's apartment then of course it's a big no-no: you definitely must take off your shoes and coats.

Hi Conor great videos I'm new to your subscription you probably mention on your vids already but when visiting Ukraine do you recommend to learn to speak Russian or Ukraine when visiting this part of the world? Thanks
I imagine the majority of visitors would be hard pressed to distinguish between Ukraine and Russian languages. You multi lingual skills are certainly atypical.
Ukrainian and Russian have only 62% of the common vocabulary. For example, Dutch and English 63%. It is a myth that Ukrainian and Russian languages are similar. Russians do not even understand us
Americans are who you use as an example of being loud in public?? Have you ever been around tourists from G Britain or Australia? Loud, rude and obnoxious. Despite that, I still like them 👍
Even before he mentioned about how loud Americans talk I was going to mention it, the number of times I have been in restaurants in Kyiv and all you can here is some dam American guys literately shouting! thinking that everyone will be praying to them a treating them like royalty, and always comparing everything to America and how much better America is, doing their hardest to convince they are superior to Ukrainian guys.
Good info. As an American, I thought it would be more respectful to try and speak Ukrainian on my first trip to Kyiv. When I got there, everyone spoke Russian.
It's still much appreciated if you make the effort to speak the mova. Kyïv is bilingual, the way Montreal is in Canada. It follows the pattern of functional diglossia: Ukrainian is spoken in dealing with the government, in signage, in education, and on tv; while russian is spoken in private life.
@Vitalii Ihnatiev Yes you are right Vitalii ! And let me clarify something for you guys : Ukraine means actually: U Kraina translated exactly like : In the Suburban area !!! Ukrainian " language " is a dialect of Russian , Polish and Bulgarian languages !!! A newly invented nation, same as North Macedonia actually being for centuries Western Bulgaria !!! Kievan Rus was founded by Russians 10 centuries ago !!! Sorry but that's true history !!!
Are Austrians Germans ? Canadians and American belong to one nation ? Why you don't speak native Indian language in USA? Why not many people in Ireland know Irish well?
@@robertdar6276 What you wrote is shit, not history. Russians could not be in Kievan Rus, they did not exist then. At that time there were Rusyns who later in the 19th century became known as Ukrainians. The nation of "Russians" was founded by Stalin in the 1930s. Prior to that, they were called Muscovites.
hi conor.i walk little far from odessa city center before 4 years and i had thouchts in my mind and smiling. they were 4 young trouble maker gays in the street and when they see me walk alone and smile they star speaking in russia why this man is smiling and he is huppy?pachimy on takoi vesioli star chating each other and i start run for the center.i could be in trouble that day with these dudes.in kiev is better avoid friendly ukranians and some places that go locals no hi clubs and bars avoid even look to the next table. i had many proplems when i used to go in clubs in gydropark kiev for 10-12 years.
Just be yourself and don’t give two shits what anyone thinks of you and a Ukrainian girl will fall for ya. It’s far more annoying to any woman acting a way your not. I’ve been to Ukraine 13 times and nobody smiles and laughs more then Canadians do and everything was fine for me. Mind you I was drunk every day that I visited there so there was truth to them thinking that. A woman will break all her rules for you if she’s head over heels for ya. If she’s getting bossy and you don’t put her in her place then she’ll think your weak. You make the rules. I didn’t go to Ukraine to make friends or ask anyone questions. I was there to get a chick and I did just that.
I lived in Ukraine and Poland, Germany, Lithuania, Romania while doing culinary work not to long ago. The " Shoe " thing is just common sense especially when they clean the floors with a bucket and rags ( I believe we have 5 different vacuum cleaners in our house not counting the Shop Vacs in the garage). Many Americans make you take your shoes off at the door ( I do! ) . Talking about how cheap things are? Who likes a bragger and a loud mouth in any country. Of course in America and you'll hear some D-bag talking way above the crowd and its SUPER annoying for everyone no matter where you are or live. The one thing I will point out about Ukraine that I noticed and was very common was a lack of manners and respect towards Woman and the Elderly, Kind of blew me away actually ( Holding door's ect ect.. Nada in Ukraine!). Family is important to them and the Woman of Ukraine seem to be very loyal ( Faithful to their own ) for the most part. Ukraine has had this " Identity Crisis " since 1993 I believe, Most all other " Soviet Bloc " nations have seemed to move on to become amazing countries ( Like Poland that is just an absolute pleasure to live and study in ) Corruption rules Ukraine and don't get me wrong here! Ukraine has amazing culture and wonderful people but from the local Police to the main body of Government they are very bad and so very corrupt ( Mind blowing stories for another time ) Pay attention and keep the Embassy on Speed Dial if you do visit Ukraine. A lifestyle of this nature eventually spills down to the everyday citizen and Ukraine is a perfect example of this. The small Villages of Ukraine are a must see!! And the Markets they have, The food and culture and people are way different than the bigger city's like Kiev and Dnipro ect. And worth visiting for sure . Just being honest here, I spent 6 years in that part of the world.
Being from Ireland doesn't mean you speak Irish. Most can understand it if you put a gun to their head, but it's better to leave it be in the backward Ghaeltacht areas.
Stupid? He says do not smile at stranger however if a woman smiles at you it is okay! He is saying should not smile at women who you do not know however it is okay for women to smile at male strangers! This a stupid rule and any guy who does not approach the women first will never have any success?
Nah , in Russia a girl who set in huge jeep smiled to me , cuz they have rich nice lifestyle so they r happy then they smile . I smile them back , und I will get a good quality car here

Depends on what part of the country you are from, many areas people are quite quiet in public.
Washing hands before eating is irrelevant. What counts is washing them after going to the bathroom. I've never washed my hands before eating.

Lack of smiles is brutal in Eastern Europe.
You should also add whistling indoors to the annoying habits - as this is deemed to be unlucky and even irresponsible in Ukraine.
