Ukrainian Words We Love

Words of inspiration. Words that capture the indomitable human spirit.

It goes without saying that at Wordsmithie, we love words. While silly phonetics, daffy definitions, and double entendres tickle our funny bones (see “Words We Love” toward the bottom of our homepage), the hostilities in Ukraine beg us to think seriously for a few moments about words that reflect the tremendous spirit, resolve, and tenacity of the Ukrainian people.

Below are some “Ukrainian Words We Love” along with pronunciations so you can say them in Ukrainian.  

We stand with Ukraine. We stand with democracy.
