"Я не їм мед."

Translation: I do not eat honey.

[jelikap]

Is honey literally honey as in the food or is it like a nickname?

[Vinnfred]

Only food

[mizail]

Vinnfred is right. Mед is only food. Do not think a person called мед (honey) :))) But you may called a child солоденькИЙ (sweet) for masсuline or солоденькА (for feminine). I think it will a close value.

[Vinnfred]

Why just a child, it's totally acceptable for your loved one :) солоденький/солоденька - sweety

[mizail]

For adult солоденький/солоденька is too sweet :))) In my opinion, sweety better translate like цукерка ;)

[Vinnfred]

That depends on your relationship :)

Is the first part of every lecture without audio for you as well?

[Henry_Manelski]

Does the negated accusative not form the genitive case in Ukrainian like it does in Polish or is this in the genitive case? to me it looks funny just cause its basically the same as in polish but using the "wrong case" if it were in polish (it would be "nie jem miodu" in polish)

[Amanesse77]

Why doesn't мед take the accusative case ending ?

[mizinamo]

The accusative case is the same as the nominative case for masculine (non-animate) and neuter nouns.

[Farheen186245]

Їм menas to eat or Їсте means to eat??

[mizinamo]

Neither of them means "to eat" (infinitive)

As in English, you cannot say "I is" or "you am" or "he are" -- you have to use the right verb form that fits the subject. "I" always goes with "am", for example.

And so in Ukrainian, їм is the verb form for "(I) eat" and їсте is the verb form for "(you, plural) eat".

So if the subject is "I" who is eating, you have to use the form їм.

& How to say "Im not eating honey" ?

[Dianoya]

Exactly the same. Ukrainian hasn't Simple and Continuous tense. There is important context there.

1. I eat honey every day. -- Я їм мед кожного дня.

2. I am eating honey now. -- Я їм мед зараз.
