"Мед" is similar to german "Met" or english "mead", which is, I think, wine made of honey. This way it's easier to remember (at least for me)
Well, I think you guys should also accept "You" in singular for this sentence instead of just approving it in plural...
Ah... They were looking for plural. I mixed singular subject with plural verb...
Gracias!
It has to do with addressing someone in a formal manner. It can also be plural, but what here suggests that we're addressing a group instead of an individual?
Did I miss something? I offered "Ти не їм...." for singular, I know about Їсте, but I have never seen їси mentioned previously. What are the differences between їси and ім please?
їм is used when talking about yourself only, Я їм. Їси is used only when using Ви, ви їси. Conjugation :)
Sorry, I don't have the Ukrainian letter 'yi' = the 'i' with two dots - thus I have to use a 'double i' ('ii') to 'represent' it ... I would say, "Ти не ііж мед." 'You eat' = "Ти ііж".
Is someone able to post the full conjugation table for їм (eat) in the nominative case here? Thank you in advance.

Я- їм, ви- їсте, ти- їси, він,вона,воно- їсть, вони- їдять, ви- їсте. If this is what you're asking about
Ви - does the B sound more like a V or D or something else? Hard to tell on the audio...
The audios are difficult, especially for me, because I can't hear consonants. "В" or "veh" is pronounced like a V in English. To hear my teacher say it, "Ви" almost sounds like "vwih." It is subtle.
After listening to much Ukrainian and Russian, the nearest I can figure is that it is closer to "v-we." Almost like "oui" in French with a "v" sound in front.
Same verb, but the endings differ because of the gender of the pronoun. "їсти" is nominative case, or the dictionary version of "to eat." я їм is I eat. він їсть is "he eats." Study conjugation of verb "їсти."
