"Ти де?"

Translation: Where are you?

[khutch39]

Is де ти an acceptable word order?

[KickingDuck]

Yes. In Ukrainian word order is fairly flexible and in this case, де ти is perfectly fine.

[UgwuJamesE]

Can you help and teach me in Ukraine language

[Slamowir]

Aż mnie w środku ściska że nie mogę, tego napisać po polsku.

[JewishPolyglot]

Nie przejmuj się

[JewishPolyglot]

literally, "you where?"

[SergioRuido]

It is a highly colloquial form. We just let it live here..))

[JewishPolyglot]

My comment was intended as an offhand remark - I didn't expect to learn more from it :) thanks!

[sagitta145]

Well, I wouldn't say it is really only colloquial, just depends on what you emphasize in a sentence.

If you start a conversation with it then yes, it's colloqiuial, like calling someone up on the phone and asking Агов, ти де? (Hey, where are you?)

But it could be like AngryPeasant said below: -Я в кіно. - Ти де??? (- I'm at the cinema. - You're where???)

[nyanparadox]

why can't it accept "you are where?" English is my first language!

[JewishPolyglot]

Good question, Report it, I guess

[Barnyard_Billy]

Could an alternative translation be "You are where?" As in a phone conversation: Daughter: "Hi mom, can't talk, busy skydiving right now" Mother: "You are where?!!"

[littleblueduck]

Yes! If it is not accepted, you should report it.

[Warao1]

OK. My bird not speaking ...how to say ти. Is it like ty or ti

[artyom.yakovenko]

Yes, it's like "ty". There is no sound for "и" in English really, so both "i" and "и" may sound like "i" to you. The difference is that "и" always leaves the preceding consonant "hard", whereas "i" makes it "soft" (palatalized). This way "ни" would be pronounced close to "ni", if you read it in Spanish, and "ні" - like "ñi". But people will still understand you, even if you always pronounce it as "i", so don't worry too much, it will come with time ;)

[irnerne]

You can try saying "и" like you say "i" in "to live".

[Skapata]

Is the intonation for ти де? ascending or descending?

[littleblueduck]

Depends on the context entirely.

[SpeedyGonzie]

How do you type in urcranian???

[irnerne]

If you mean literally, just add a UA language to your keyboard language list, although it's not easy to type when letters aren't printed on the keyboard

[AlabasterWitch]

what is the diffrence between Bn and Tn?

[ogUu60010]

Sounds a little aggressive
