Actually, with Ukrainian it isn't really one language. The "Ukrainian" they speak in the east and south is different than what they speak in the western parts (as you get closer to Poland it sounds more Polish, as you get closer to Russian parts they use more Russian words). It is really a rural dialect kind of like ebonics for English.

It’s fun how you’re a chameleon as if we’re all idiots.

your family is Jewish from Kharkiv and emigrated pre-soviet collapse. Nevertheless, when it fits whatever gay little troll point you want to make, you’ll claim to be Russian or Ukrainian.

Now, because it fits your argument, you have Ukrainian family, who you’ve always maintained speaks exclusively Russian, and therefore you have special first hand knowledge of speaking both Russian and Ukrainian.

Listen, my wife was born in Lviv and lived the first 8 years of her life there. Surely, you’ll agree that Lviv contains probably the largest population of Ukrainian speakers on earth. In the US, at home, they spoke exclusively Ukrainian.

She absolutely does not perfectly understand Russian and absolutely does not speak Russian.

My family is heavily mixed because unlike you who left when the shtetl Jews ran off, we left much later. Ukraine was, historically, a part of Russia. Therefore, it should be understood as me saying "Floridian" and "American" and not "American" and "German." They are not mutually exclusive at all. Kharkov, btw, was historically an entirely Russian speaking city similar to Odessa.

I would agree that Lvov is definitely the part of Ukraine where speaking Ukrainian is the most common. Nevertheless, most people in Lvov also understand Russian. Did she leave when she was 5 or something?

Classic TMF tactic. I never claimed any personal expertise. My family having left in the 1800s is completely irrelevant because i never claimed to have any special ancestral knowledge unlike you.

I know Kharkiv and Odessa traditionally are primarily Russian speaking. Again that has nothing to do with any of the points I made.

Of course people who grew up in Lviv know Russian. Everyone in Ukraine knows Russian because they were forced to learn it. Again, that has no relevance to this subthread.

The effectiveness of this particular line of Russian propaganda has been completely obliterated. It's about as useful as claiming Arabs hate democracy and freedom in 2025.

You sound like a hysterical woman. So you don't really object to my main points you basically "don't like the tone of my voice." Here, your main complaint is nitpicking my use of the concept of "perfectly" understanding Russian (I guess you could say my Russian isn't perfect either but my point, which should have been clear, is that Ukrainians can watch Russian news, media, Putin's speeches, whatever and understand what is happening without needing translation - which you appear to agree with).

"The effectiveness of this particular line of Russian propaganda has been completely obliterated. It's about as useful as claiming Arabs hate democracy and freedom in 2025."

You're too old to behave like this. No one cares about our stupid XO discussion. I'm not conveying some super important Kremlin propaganda that will ultimately decide the future of Ukraine but rather stating reality which you don't even disagree with. You're just pissed that I don't politically agree with you on Ukraine.

It really is not. Do you understand Ukrainian? The words are all Russian or Polish with occasional local slang. You could argue that Greek influenced all Slavic languages (you can see the influence in the Cyrillic alphabet) but that's not unique to Ukrainian (which also uses Cyrillic, ignoring the import of the Latin 'i').

That's like saying you grew up in the US but didn't learn to speak English at all and had to take English lessons before visiting the UK. That's totally bizarre. When I went to Crimea there was zero Ukrainian language anywhere. You would have significant trouble noticing that you're not in Russia (obviously, I'm speaking pre-2014 - today it is discernably Russian everywhere). You basically had to find a government building or post office.

3) your visit to ukraine doesnt make you an expert on ukranian versus russian languages

considered there are two poasters with ukranian family itt that will agree with me, perhaps its "bizarre" because your language expertise isnt what you estimate it to be

TDNW is some Westerner who frames everything in terms of his ridiculous politics that operates on a grade school level (Example: "Russians are ORKS!" "Ukrainians are WHITE and ARYAN!" despite them being the exact same people) and has zero native connection to the region.

Love this tired "pulling slavic rank" TMF schtick while upthread accusing me of lazy ad hominems. I guess your arguments are right because you claim to have to closest connection to Ukraine amongst our small online community of prestigious law school scholars.

I'm sure you would be pretty annoyed if I started bullshitting that Jews are all on the cusp of accepting Christ or whatever. There are plenty of non-Slavs that don't repeat obnoxious propaganda talking points that nafo accounts parrot but unfortunately, that's not the case with TDNW.

And if my background was being part Russian/Ukrainian but had never been in Russia/Ukraine and didn't speak the language then sure, it would be the same.

I don't think you're lying but I think it is bizarre. But there are people who grew up in the US and don't speak English.

Here's the deal with Crimea - it is VERY Russian (more Russian than much of Russia). There are people in Russia who don't speak Russian for a variety of reasons. There are ethnic minorities there too (Crimean Tatars for example). It is possible that there is a tiny village where everyone speaks Ukrainian though again, Ukrainian and Russian are VERY close any generally mutually intelligible. It is also possible that what he calls Ukrainian is actually Surzhyk (an even more Russian version of Ukrainian). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surzhyk

But again, it is very strange. I'm not calling you a liar or him a liar or whatever.

he also describes crimea as "basically russia". but he still didn't think his Russian was very good. then again, as seems typical for people around that region, he tends to be "negative" and downplay things generally. maybe his russian was always pretty good.

Yeah it is entirely possible that his "bad Russian" is basically Russian with a Ukrainian accent which I also have.

But what did he speak at home? For example, Crimean Tatars speak their own language that really is very different than either Russian or Ukrainian (it isn't a Slavic language at all).

It's not really bizarre and your so called friend from Crimea is the weird one. People from Crimea consider themselves Russian and they generally speak Russian. The idea that your friend who grew up speaking Russian had to take Russian classes and couldn't speak Russian while in Russia is absurd and makes you an easy mark. It's like saying, "my buddy who is from Munich Germany had to study German before he went back to Germany because he didn't speak German!"

that’s because they grew up with russian as one of the languages around. a pure Ukrainian speaker, say from the diaspora, would not just turn on russian TV and understand very much

same goes for russian speakers not from Ukraine listening to Ukrainian. they’re lucky to understand 30-40%

this probably applies to the friend i mentioned above. he was very young when he immigrated. his family still speaks ukranian at home and in their community. he probably knew enough russian to understand it somewhat considering he only needed a few months of lessons to travel solo to russia (and not just stay in moscow and st. petersburg).

Diaspora communities generally have much weaker language skills than the native communities (which is why I'm going to have to have my kid go back to Russia at some point). Sure, someone who learns Ukrainian as their second language which they speak only occasionally with family and a few friends is not going to be comparable to the situation in Ukraine or Russia, for example.

Do you know how I learned Ukrainian? There was a guy in our Kiev office who natively spoke Ukrainian and asked if I minded if he spoke Ukrainian and said he'll just speak more slowly for a few days and once my mind adapts I'll be able to understand him. It worked perfectly.

As you know because we've talked about this ad nauseum, I regard Russia and Ukraine as one and the same with Ukraine just being a part of Russia. The parts of Ukraine that I would care to visit will end up a part of Russia anyway. I basically don't give "Ukrainian independence" any real substance.

I absolutely can understand it. Anyone with a decent command of Russian that spent time just listening to Ukrainian would have it mentally click VERY quickly.

TMF probably speaks shitty russian, and admittedly even worse Ukrainian, arguing that they are mutually comprehensible based solely on the fact that ukrainians would have been forced to learn russian as children.

That will obviously go away.

My Russian is fine and yes, my Ukrainian is obviously much worse. Nevertheless, I've never formally studied Ukrainian in my life and nevertheless can easily watch the news in Ukrainian. Zelensky's show is in both Russian and Ukrainian used interchangeably and it wouldn't occur to anyone that subtitles were needed.

And as to this going away, seems likely only for diaspora.
