BarryLord1 : I am giving you one month ... (to get a job) ... or ... (to have your painting finished) ... or ... (to have your test paper handed in) ...
You are allowing the other person one month to have something in particular accomplished.

I am aware of the English idiom/metaphor. Are you saying that the same idiom or metaphor is used in Ukrainian?

[deniko]

the same idiom or metaphor is used in Ukrainian

Yep, and it's a very common way in Ukrainian to express the meaning described by Donna127096

[OTembelis]

Is it incorrect to say "Я вам даю один місяць." ?

[grey236]

Technically no, but I don't know if it will be an accepted answer

[skstudio]

It is grammatically correct. You'll be stressing "вам" a little bit by this word order.

[BarryLord1]

Some context to this sentence would help. Otherwise, what does it mean? How can you give someone a period of time??

[Kari884679]

eviction?

[LudoFrench]

If it's the same in russian it's possible too: "вам я даю один місяць"

[thomaszabel]

Word order is very flexible in Russian and Ukrainian, but I can't think of a case in Russian where you would put вам before я. Just seems strange to me. Maybe there is a case though.

[SavageUkr]

I can think of a situation when it would make sense for Вам to go first: when you want to highlight a special treatment, an exception or contrast. For you, I'll give you one month (while the others can expect one week).
