"Україна - мій дім."

Translation: Ukraine is my home.

Think about it...Maybe the creators think that if we study Ukrainian enough, one day we will live there :)

[TseDanylo]

Yes, we are slowly luring you all into Ukraine ;)

[IGR739986]

It is a nice country

[shkrjab]

Maybe. )))

That explains why in this lesson on the "future", we are projecting ourselves to be viewing it as our home. Як скоро? Не знаємо...

[RainbowVomit911]

Why is this sentence in 'Future' ?

[grey236]

It just might be a review sentence

[viktorine.k]

same tak :)

Am I to understand from getting "Ukraine, my home" marked INCORRECT and reading the comments of Vinnfred on "мій брат - студенти" that the "em" (-) is the equivalent of the English conjunction "is"

[RainbowVomit911]

Em-dash ( — ) in Ukrainian often (but not always) means omitted words. In this case the omitted word was copula 'is', yes.

And England is my city

[Donna127096]

Does the Ukrainian language have contractions ?
Ukraine is = Ukraine's

[SethMcAvoy]

"The Ukraine" should be accepted.

[RickPohlsa]

Has something changed over time so that we do not say "the Ukraine" anymore? The are certain proper nouns in English that always have "the" in front of them like "the Hague", "the Hermitage", "the Ohio State University", and "the Ukraine".

[RainbowVomit911]

Well, since Ukraine is no longer a part of the USSR, thus no longer "The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic" or "The Soviet Ukraine", it would be wrong to refer Ukraine with the article "the".

As a rule of thumb, no article is included when referring to a country with a single name (except The Gambia) or with merged single-named states like Bosnia and Herzegovina; an article is used when referring to the region or an area surrounding a river, such as the Sudan, the Arctic, the Gambia, and formerly the Ukraine (region) which as of 1991 is called Ukraine.
