Very interesting Taya, I’m glad you had the time to do this😊
There are quite a few Ukrainian speakers here in western Canada. Two former premiers, one of Alberta and one of Saskatchewan only spoke Ukrainian until they were about five years old.
I have often experimented using google translate. If you select a word in English and translate it into Russian and listen to the translation, then translate the same English word into Ukrainian and listen to the translation, the Ukrainian translation sounds more pleasant.
The Russian consonants are harsher, especially for a Russian speaker from the north.
Funny they say Russian is more simillar to South Slavic or Bulgarian but in general it seems both are simillar but in different way, for example Gorod/Grad and Misto/Mjesto are both present in South Slavic, Grad is a City but Misto/Mjesto is a Place, a Town, a spot (Tvoje misto na kauču) to sit or something like that .
Ukrajinski Sounds a more musical almost like people are singing a bit.
The South Slavic influence in Russian comes from Church Slavonic.
@@stefanreichenberger5091 Which is close to Bulgarian or some even say it is old Bulgarian
Grad becomes hrad in some Slavic languages and means castle. One finds cities occurring near castles. Prague has two.
@@kevin.keen.socialmedia Grad is a City or a Castle but it is also Hail at least in Croatian, other name for Hail is Krupa/Tuča
This is an interesting topic and there is a lot to say about it. First point: if you learn another language you hear it through the air, but when you speak you hear your own words through your head. You will be surprised how different it sounds if you hear your own words from a tape recorder!
Second point: even though languages have the same origin they will develop differently and become separate even if a third person might have difficulty to make the difference. Also it may reflect in the written language. Example: Danes have æ and ø, Swedes have ä and ö. In principle they should be the same, but the pronunciation is quite different.
Third point: Ukrainian is part of the Slavic subgroup of the Indo-European languages. We actually have a lot of words with a common origin, especially when it comes to farming. 4:21 Milk, mjölk (Swedish), mælk (Danish), Malako (Russian), Moloko (Ukrainian) is a good example. I was surprised when I realized that sne in Danish and sneg in Russian both means snow.
In Ukrainian, soft t's and d's are much rarer. The infinitive suffix is a good marker to distinguish the two languages.
Both languages were quickly put together, without thorough analysis. This was organized by Kopitar, who was employed in Vienna in the Slavic counter-propaganda department. And they prevented the transitory Greek-Catholic religion from changing to Catholicism, as in the Balkans, because they prevented the unification of Poles and Ukrainians into one larger nation. Kopitar also organized the creation of the Serbian language as a counterweight to the Croats who created the Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian languages because they wanted to unite with the Croats. Thus, it was easier to rule several smaller nations than one large one. The French and the English did the same by dividing the German and Italian language, which have now virtually merged into one.
Hello Dear Taya, happy to see you again and you look great, very useful video!! Love and Greetings from Hellas!
To be honest the two sound very similar to me.
Why do Americans ask about differences between Ukrainian and Russian languages? Because until 1991 they were the same country, so most who had no real experience with either culture had no expectation of vastly different languages.
Is not the same country. Both was part of URSS. Dummy
Like in English where we use a schwa sound for unstressed vowels like in "ago" and "level." It seems like the Russian language has a similar thing. An example is moloko/"malako." Ukrainian retains its full vowel sounds.
In russian you pronounce maloko but still spell moloko. A other example the word what in russian you pronounce shto but write chto.
The other confusing part is native speakers do not think about the grammar it just flows when you construct a sentence what sounds right and when you try to do this in ukrainian forget it the endings are different sometimes to a point where the core word becomes foreign.
Hi thank you for explaining the difference it's very complicated I'm still trying but slowly understanding
I think you summed it up at 1:28😂 But, yes, I do understand the differences somewhat since you explained it😊
Good explanation for the FAQ. When I see this question I usually just say that russians don't understand Ukrainian. Just like we Finns don't understand Estonian although it's very similiar and have lots of same words.
спасибо taya, im still learning. 👍
To untrained American ears the two languages sound almost identical. Also, the fact both of them use a Cyrillic alphabet adds to the confusion. The only reason I can tell any difference is because I've been studying Ukranian for about two months. The names of the months are a complete giveaway.
Yes I understand that, that’s why I made this video 😊
That's because you have chances to hear only Russian speakers speaking "Ukrainian. Their phonetics are world apart. Ukrainian doesn't have so many soft consonants also the voices are lower.
Ukrainian so called language is a dialect of Russian. It was a Russian language that got influenced by Polish and Serbo-Croatian.
@@frostflower5555 orc
I have to admit, that I hardly can tell apart slavic languages at all. But by watching street interviews with Ukrainians and Russians I noticed the differences between Ukr. yes - tak - and russ. yes - da resp. no - njet / ni . Or, as you mentioned, the difference between the h-sound and the g-sound ( _propahanda_ vs. _propaganda_ ).
Interestingly the Ukr. word for roof is practically identical to the German word (Dach). That comes probably from the Austrians.
Apostrophe is pronounced "uh·paw·struh·fee"
Thats very interesting. for the difference in the alpabet imedatly as comparion to Ukrainan -Russian , German - Hungary came to my mind. both have the latin alpabeth but in hungarian some letters exist (often combination of two letters) who doesn exist in the german alpabet or some who are differend pronunced. For the spken language diffrencs and partial whole diffrence words between russian and Ukrainan it remindes me about the diffrence between Swiss German and written German /Germanys German.
Duzhe kruto! Dyakuyu!
Apostrophe ( ' ) is pronounced Ah pahs tra fee with the stress on the second syllable, "pahs."
... Excellent description of differences. Far more coherent than me trying to explain how people in New Orleans talk. Good work Taya 👏
Very. very useful video, Taya! Long time I was looking for such explanation to be able to catch the differences in spoken language, and you hit the nail! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing.
To me, Ukrainian has a special phonology.
It is as interesting as an English learner having a conversation with a British person.
for 'shower' dush its close to the latin languages. in portuguese its ducha
Ukrainian sounds archaic, outdated for a russian who doesn't know it. Like it did not develop for the last two hundreds years. My great-grandmother, born in 1903 and lived in a remote village, sounded similar, althouth she spoke russian.
Very good explanation, Taya!
Both alphabets have ten letters too many, they made things too complicated.
Finally, do Ukrainians understand other Slavic languages like Polish or Slovak?
In terms of education, which languages do Ukrainian children/young teens learn at school?
I am somewhat fluent in Russian and have been learning a little Ukrainian since the war started. I find Ukrainian sounds to more difficult to pronounce. Ukrainian seems softer to me, with the consonant sounds sometimes being unarticulated, I can't even hear them. Слава Україні
your accent is so cute lol
Ukrainian and russian languages are totally different. As estonian, i speak some russian, because it was mandatory at school, and understand most of it . But watching ukrainian news about war, i only recognise few words. Like estonian ahd finnish, sound alike, but only few words mean same thing. Slava ukraini!
And Hi means No
What you were saying as i an english speaker was confusing at times,you should do the russian pronunciation then the ukrainian equivalent when applicable,well presented though and informative,you looked great well done tho,use sentences to describe it better.
Thank you for this video Taya. Could you add a few seconds between the comparative words in each language? I watch your content on my phone and it's hard to find the precise moment where you give your comparisons.
Hi .I am from India
My entire family is from Ukraine mainly Kharkov but they all spoke only Russian i grew up learning Russian. They came to America in 1978 and then it was Soviet Union. It was very strange to me when i got older and first heard Ukrainian. It just sounded wrong to me lol
The difference is that Ukranïan is a beautiful language
Ukrainian language is way older than ruzzian. It has the most common words with Belarusian, Polish and Slovak, - not with ruzzian.
You have a Russian accent when speaking English.
Ella es del Dombas, y le arroja 💩 a los rusos, así de traicionera a sus antepasados es está chica.
Very clear explanation👍
You just have a innate gift of picking up languages easily. After listening to you explain the difference between the Ukraine and Russian languages, I bought me a bottle of Hard Liquor to drank because my head was spinning. You are a very talented and intelligent and beautiful person. Take care,be safe.
Hahahah
Cool video Taya, always love learning things like this!
Von voyage may frnd...
Part of Ukraine was once under the Austrian Hungarian Empire. The Austro Hungarian empire didn’t apply any sort of bans on language, or prevent publishing books in Ukrainian and teaching and speaking it like Russia did. This helped the Ukrainian language survive and its literature to even flourish. Ironically at the time Russia was claiming to be the defender of Slavic unity. The letter was pure propaganda.
It's a bit more complex, since the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy was also applied bans, but for different reason. Here (I'm Hungarian) the Government tried to reach that Ukrainians were assimilated through heavy methods and also any literature in Ukrainian about Slavic unity was banned also (The then rusin movement in West Ukraine, now a dialect and a part of Ukrainians are named Rusin), while the situation was opposite on the Russian side. They've banned the literature mainly about Ukrainian sovereignty.
The later era ( Ukraine in SU), also had different politics about ukrainization and deukrainization in different times.
Being a student in SU at 80-ies, I was very surprised to find out that in the education at university level (IT at that time) books in Ukrainian were used in Harkov and Kiev, since I'd expected that in SU everyone uses Russian before I've got there.
On these towns however people on the streets were speaking Russian, so the environment was real double (even if very similar) language.
@@gyorgyschiff7684 You miss the point. Russia actually banned the actual teaching of the Ukrainian language. Austria Hungary did not ban the language. The Hapsbergs were happy with a multi-ethnic empire. Arch Duke Ferdinand even married a Czech. Russia for a long time banned printing in the Ukrainian language and also banned importing books printed in Ukrainian. These restrictions were only partially lifted in Tsarist controlled Ukraine till 1905 and even then it was not permitted to make public political statements in the language. They did not end until Russia's defeat in WW1 and the Armistice of Brest Litrovesk Germany compelled forced Russia to give Ukraine independence. The Austro Hungarian Empire never banned the language itself. Russia did.
-The political literature on slavic unity was to a large part Russian propaganda directed at expanding the Russian empire and had little to do with actual Slavic unity. Russian propaganda is not new. Its been around since the Tsars.
Hi Glad all ok
There is just no way to learn ukrainian after knowing russian you are better off learning it as some other native lamguage speaker. There are just enough similarities to confuse you to a point where you do not know if the words are different in ukrainian. And enough differences where you may understand the beginning of a sentence but not the end usually the most important part. There are people in eastern ukraine that do not speak ukrainian at all.
Always interesting Taya. You have amazing language skills.
Hi new to your channel iam watching from Northeast India
It's Taya with you... A little Olga flavor to start the video!
One is spoken by free people, the other is not. Slava Ukraine 👍🏾
The difference is when the western part of the century was Polonized, and the eastern part Russified, and now Polish Surdzhak is presented as a Ukrainian language.
Ukrainian existed by the 9th-11th centuries AD, when ruZZia was a forest and a marsh. Ukrainian state, language, culture each is way older than Muscovite. Russia, Rus means a Scandinavian tribe, it was the name of Ukraine, that the Mongolian outpost Muscovy stole centuries later. Even Muscovites themselves used Muscovite, Muscovy until the 17th century. Kyiv is 600 year older than Moscow.
@@BlaiseMonton The saying goes that history is a whore. And now Taya is under palm trees that are not a thousand years old and not Ukrainian.
@@BlaiseMontonBut there were Ukraine at that tme, it was Rus.
@@vz5835 yes, that is what I was telling. Rus=Ukraine, and it means a Scandinavian/Swedish tribe whose leaders founded the Kyivan Rus (Old Ukraine) in the 9th century.
@@BlaiseMonton The saying goes that history is a whore. And Taya is now under palm trees that are not a thousand years old and not Ukrainian.
GREAT TUTORIAL TAYA- WANT TO LEARN UKRANIAN😊
I actually learned a lot. What I appreciated was how the alphabet was listed , and the list of the months with all the comparisons in one place lol. It put it in order that I am familiar with :) I hope all of Ukraine's gardens are overflowing with good things to eat (Especially Grandmothers garden ;) And what does :))) mean? I hope it isn't rude I have seen it playing online video games
Good day from PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Ukrainian phonetically sounds nicer than Russian to my American ears
Thank you for the lesson.😊
wow. I have been learning Ukrainian with a friend for a few months. When you did the test, ofc I knew the Ukrainian from the russian. but I didn't realize that they do sound different. Russian sounds a bit harsher? I guess? but anyway, nice explanation. It's nice to see it while I am also learning Ukrainian :D
Taya 👏
All the different endings makes it really hard for me to learn as an American. I am still trying though.
I can’t even imagine. But you can do it!
How come before the invasion there was not such a "big difference" between ukrainian and russian languages, foreign untrained ears could hardly tell any difference, the two languages sound almost identical. This "touchy" approach to everything related with Rusia and the russians does not make a difference in the outcome of the war.
🇬🇧💰🇺🇦💸 for my experience of the Ukraine language as you say is a little bit like Russian but I have spent a lot of time in Bulgaria and found the language partly is the same as Russian Italian Ukraine and English and French certain words always stay in my mind because they remind me of something such as private and double din what language becomes easier when you hear it all the time and everybody understands cash money speaks all languages a money always travels better in the Ukraine you are always able to travel first class 🇺🇦💰💳🙏
+100 years of russian propaganda: “Ukrainian is just a dialect of russian spoken by ‘little russians’”
Así es, a los ucranianos en la antigüedad se los conocía como rutenos(rusos pequeños), de Rutenia.
Además el idioma ucraniano fue el resultado de haber sido modificado, a través de la conquistas polacas.
Esta chica no se cansa de su propaganda, distorsionando la historia, y solo por complacer a su amo anglosajón.
Did you ever thought of really changing your last name to Ukraine instead of Yeremiy? 😅
That'll be interesting though
STARTED READING TIMOTHY SNYDER BOOKS- GREAT SUPPORTER OF UKRAINE
Thank you for explaining the difference between the Ukrainian and the Russian language to us, Taya.
Различие украинского и русского языков в том что сами украинцы на украинском языке не говорят а только выпендриваются а реально говорят они на русском 😂 !
Así es, y además, el verdadero ucraniano es más ruso que ucraniano.
El supuesto proclamado ucraniano de la parte del oeste, son más desendientes, de polacos, austriacos, húngaros checos, alemanes.
Y un dato curioso, el nazi Stepan Bandera era de origen austro húngaro.
Различие украинского и русского языков в том что ЙБНРСН по-украински пишется через Й. За русским кораблйом.
You are a. Beautiful. Teacher and. I. Look. Foward. To. Your blogs😊
I can't understand why Ukrainian need to speak Russian!
We don’t need to speak Russian! But since whole or parts of Ukraine were under Russian control, we were forced to learn Russian!
Спс за видео Тая! Дякую!
Надеюсь всё хорошо в калифорнии.
Hi Taya !! Cool vid -- It's difficult for me to tell the difference between spoken Ukrainian and Russian -- But I can usually see the difference in the written languages --- I think many Westerners are interested because before the war many Ukrainians spoke Russian or hybrid Russian/Ukrainian as their first language and now Ukraine, as a whole country, is moving away from the Russian language and towards the Ukrainian language
Many Ukrainian words are similar to Polish
Isn't "polonitsa" now a dangerous weapon?
(Damn war, slava Ukraini)

TAYA- I THINK THE REASON AMERICANS ASK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN BECAUSE THE PERCEPTION THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE- THAT UKRANIANS ARE “LITTLE RUSSIANS” WITH NO DISTINCT CULTURE. YOUR TUTORIAL (WHICH WAS GREAT) SHOWS THAT THE PERCEPTION IS NOT TRUE. IN FACT UKRANIAN SOUNDS CULTURALLY PURER AS A DISTINCT CULTURE. PUTIN AND RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA BLASTING EVERYWHERE
It is very inappropriate to publicly compare Ukrainian and Russian, and imply that they are so close, given the circumstances and history, when Russian always tried to overshadow and ban Ukrainian in Ukraine. Besides, Ukrainian is more similar to Belorussian, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Serbian than Russian.
Hi dear how are you ❤️
Hi Taya, you are very clever, do you love languages? ❤
Thank you Taya for that. ❤to💙💛

God forgive me but it all sounds the same to my ears. However, I know the difference between Ukrainian and Russian people. I wouldn’t give you 5c for the Ruski Meer 👎👎👎
I have Ukrainian neighbor friend who is married to a Russian Fella! They are such a wonderful couple! Both are the nicest people in the world!❤
It is no problem with the people! The problem is the race biologists who are now active again!💩
I think lots of western people want to understand Ukrainian.
Ukrainian is just a Russian dialect. Think of American and British English.
Also huge population in Ukraine just speaks Russian.
NO WRONG
Making Kiev to Kyiv doesn't make you a separate country.
Exacto, y además el dialecto ucraniano es el resultado de la modificación de la lengua madre eslava, a través de las conquistas polacas.
Hey, Taya California. I need you to teach me Ukrainian before i go to Ukraine.
Gott Schütze alle Ukrainer 🙏🇩🇪❤️🇺🇦🤝💯
El ruso deriva del ucraniano
Sí
Falso mentiroso, el ucraniano es una lengua modificada, cuando fueron conquistados por los polacos(la mal comunidad Polonia lituania)
Finally Miss Taya came back!!! Too many Americans equate russians with Ukrainians. They think all Slavs are one...
russians inherited the soul of Gengus Khan’s Golden Hoard, known primarily for its mountain of Skulls. Ukrainians came from multiple tribes. The earliest one I know is the Amazons: the semi nomadic tribe that encouraged and valued female warriors.
Wonder Woman is a Ukrainian😃
I know who I support.

I'm curious what percentage of Russian speakers in Ukraine have now switched to using Ukrainian in daily life. I've studied both languages, but Ukrainian is much nicer sounding in my opinion.
Not all, but I would say a lot. Even people I know from my social circle
