Ukrainian Numbers[edit | edit source]
Ukrainian numbers are similar to numbers in many other Slavic languages, and the pronunciation is not challenging. Below are the numbers from 1 to 10 in Ukrainian, along with the pronunciation and translation:
| Ukrainian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| один | odyn | One |
| два | dva | Two |
| три | try | Three |
| чотири | chotyry | Four |
| п'ять | p'yat' | Five |
| шість | shist' | Six |
| сім | sim | Seven |
| вісім | visim | Eight |
| дев'ять | dev'yat' | Nine |
| десять | desyat' | Ten |
As you can see, the numbers are quite easy to learn, and the pronunciation is not challenging.
Fun Fact: Ukrainians have a unique way of counting from 1-5 on one hand. They use different fingers to represent each number, as follows:
- One - Index Finger
- Two - Index and Middle Finger
- Three - Index, Middle, and Ring Finger
- Four - All fingers except Thumb
- Five - All Fingers
This method of counting is called Chysla. Ukrainians use this method much like Americans use counting on fingers.
Interactive Dialogue[edit | edit source]
To help you understand how to use these numbers in context, we have created a dialogue for you to follow.
- Person 1: Що це за ціна? (Shcho tse za tsina?) (What is the price?)
- Person 2: Це п'ять гривень. (Tse p'yat' hryven') (It's five hryvnias.)
- Person 1: Добре, я куплю це. (Dobre, ya kuplyu tse.) (Okay, I'll buy it.)
In this dialogue, we used the number 5 to describe the price of an item. This type of conversation is common in Ukrainian markets or stores.
