"Ти там?"

Translation: Are you there?

[JerryHende6]

i dont get it

[skstudio]

The literal translation would be "you there?" Ukrainian does not require copula verbs (like "is" or "are" in English) and you can make a sentence to a question just by putting a question mark after it in writing (in speech you change the intonation).

[Salma27607]

How to pronounce ти??

[Ephram-Tooma]

Tih

[Ivan697279]

Like "tea" but putting back of tongue down. Making a deep sound [i:]

[Englilove]

Like ty

[Zinthak]

So...is there a difference in the pronunciation between the 'y' and the 'i'? I don't hear a distinct difference myself

[mizinamo]

I've heard it described as similar to the difference between "fit" and "feet", "hill" and "heel", "sin" and "seen" etc.

[Nadyafeinstein]

Very confused. For some reason, I keep on thinking "there" (tam) means "here". How do you say "here"?

[Robert_Andersson]

I am here = Я тут (Ya toot). I am there = Я там (Ya tam). ☺

[mprdo]

"Toot" is what I remember...many, many years ago. 22Nov15

[alberto.po8]

Here tn
There tam
Where де

[Sushinese]

Is this question formal or informal...?

[skstudio]

"ти" is informal, "ви" is formal or when addressing a group of people.

[Phsymon]

Isnt thia pronounced the same as Де там?
Guess you cant make a aentence like that though?

[Mauricio955456]

It's been a long time without practice. I think it's the problem in my case.

[Farheen186245]

'Taм' means 'here' and 'there' both?? Plz tell

[skstudio]

Там - there
Тут - here
