Basic Greetings and Responses[edit | edit source]

Before we jump into introducing ourselves, let's quickly review some basic greetings and responses that you have learned in the previous lesson. It's important to have these greetings in your vocabulary as they will often be the starting point of any conversation.

Now that you have refreshed your memory, let's move on to the main topic of this lesson: introducing yourself!

Introducing Yourself[edit | edit source]

When you meet someone for the first time, it's important to introduce yourself and make a good first impression. In Ukrainian, there are a few different ways to introduce yourself depending on the level of formality and the situation. Here are some common phrases that you can use:

1. Мене звати [Your Name]. (Mene zvaty [Your Name].) - My name is [Your Name]. 2. Я [Your Name]. (Ya [Your Name].) - I am [Your Name]. 3. Дозвольте представитися, я [Your Name]. (Dozvolte predstavytysya, ya [Your Name].) - Allow me to introduce myself, I am [Your Name].

For example, if your name is Anna, you can say:

Мене звати Анна. (Mene zvaty Anna.) - My name is Anna.
Я Анна. (Ya Anna.) - I am Anna.
Дозвольте представитися, я Анна. (Dozvolte predstavytysya, ya Anna.) - Allow me to introduce myself, I am Anna.

It's also common to shake hands when introducing yourself in Ukraine, especially in more formal situations. Remember to maintain eye contact and use a firm handshake to show confidence and respect.

Asking for Someone's Name[edit | edit source]

Once you have introduced yourself, it's natural to want to know the other person's name. Here are some phrases you can use to ask for someone's name in Ukrainian:

1. Як вас звати? (Yak vas zvaty?) - What is your name? (formal) 2. Як тебе звати? (Yak tebe zvaty?) - What is your name? (informal)

For example, if you want to ask someone their name using the informal form, you can say:

Як тебе звати? (Yak tebe zvaty?) - What is your name?

If you prefer to use the formal form, you can say:

Як вас звати? (Yak vas zvaty?) - What is your name?

Now that you know how to introduce yourself and ask for someone's name, let's practice these phrases in a conversation.

Conversation Practice[edit | edit source]

Here is a sample conversation to help you practice introducing yourself and asking for someone's name:

Anna: Привіт! Мене звати Анна. (Hello! My name is Anna.) Oleg: Привіт, Анно! Я Олег. (Hello, Anna! I am Oleg.) Anna: Рада познайомитися, Олеже. (Nice to meet you, Oleg.) Oleg: Радий познайомитися, Анно. (Nice to meet you, Anna.)

Now it's your turn! Practice this conversation with a partner or imagine yourself in this situation and try to respond naturally. Remember to use the correct pronunciation and gestures to make your conversation more authentic.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to introduce yourself and ask for someone's name in Ukrainian. These basic greetings and introductions are the building blocks of any conversation, and mastering them will greatly enhance your language skills. Keep practicing and using these phrases in real-life situations to become more confident in your Ukrainian communication. In the next lesson, we will learn how to count numbers in Ukrainian. До побачення! (Goodbye!)
