Basic Greetings

Before we dive into introducing ourselves, let's review some basic greetings in Ukrainian. These greetings are commonly used in different situations throughout the day. Practice the pronunciation and use of these greetings to make a good first impression.

Good Afternoon

To greet someone in the afternoon, you can use the phrase "Добрий день" (Dobryi den). It is used from around 11:00 am until 5:00 pm.

In the evening, you can say "Добрий вечір" (Dobryi vechir) to greet someone. This greeting is used from around 5:00 pm until around 9:00 pm.

Goodbye

To say "goodbye" in Ukrainian, you can use the phrase "До побачення" (Do pobachennia). It is a polite way to end a conversation.

Now that you are familiar with basic greetings, let's move on to introducing yourself.

Introducing Yourself

When introducing yourself in Ukrainian, there are a few key phrases and expressions you should know. These will help you introduce yourself politely and initiate conversations. Let's learn them now.

My Name Is...

To introduce yourself and say your name in Ukrainian, you can use the phrase "Мене звуть..." (Mene zvut...), followed by your name. For example, if your name is Anna, you would say "Мене звуть Анна" (Mene zvut Anna).

Ukrainian	Pronunciation	English Translation
Мене звуть...	Mene zvut...	My name is...

What Is Your Name?

To ask someone's name in Ukrainian, you can say "Як вас звати?" (Yak vas zvaty?). This phrase is used in formal situations or when addressing someone respectfully.

Ukrainian	Pronunciation	English Translation
Як вас звати?	Yak vas zvaty?	What is your name?

If you are in a less formal setting or talking to someone your age or younger, you can use the phrase "Як тебе звати?" (Yak tebe zvaty?). This is a more informal way of asking someone's name.

Ukrainian	Pronunciation	English Translation
Як тебе звати?	Yak tebe zvaty?	What is your name?

Nice to Meet You

After introducing yourself or learning someone's name, it is polite to respond with "Приємно познайомитися" (Priiemno poznaiomytysia), which means "Nice to meet you."

Ukrainian	Pronunciation	English Translation
Приємно познайомитися	Priiemno poznaiomytysia	Nice to meet you

Polite Forms

In Ukrainian, it is important to use polite forms of address when speaking to someone you don't know well or someone older than you. To show respect, use the formal pronouns "ви" (vy) instead of "ти" (ty).

For example, when asking someone's name, instead of saying "Як тебе звати?" (Yak tebe zvaty?), you would say "Як вас звати?" (Yak vas zvaty?).

Using polite forms of address is a sign of good manners and will be appreciated by native Ukrainian speakers.

Practice Dialogues

To practice what you have learned so far, let's go through a few dialogue examples:

Dialogue 1:

Anna: Добрий ранок! Мене звуть Анна. Як вас звати? (Yak vas zvaty?)

Olga: Добрий ранок, Анна! Мене звуть Ольга. Приємно познайомитися! (Priiemno poznaiomytysia!)

Dialogue 2:

Marko: Добрий день! Як вас звати? (Yak vas zvaty?)

Ivan: Добрий день! Мене звуть Іван. А вас? (A vas?)

Marko: Мене звуть Марко. Приємно познайомитися! (Priiemno poznaiomytysia!)

Dialogue 3:

Katya: Добрий вечір! Як тебе звати? (Yak tebe zvaty?)

Sasha: Добрий вечір, Катя! Мене звуть Саша. Приємно познайомитися! (Priiemno poznaiomytysia!)

Practice these dialogues with a friend or language partner to improve your conversational skills.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have learned how to introduce yourself and ask for someone's name in Ukrainian. Remember to use polite forms of address and practice the dialogues to become more confident in your interactions. In the next lesson, we will continue building your vocabulary and language skills. До побачення! (Do pobachennia!)
