I mean the words offered don't match the translation given at the top of this page.
It said Яке моє ім'я was correct and none of that was taught in lesson. When I opened the mssg board, it said what I know as correct, "як мене звати".
They never teach, ім'я, and we are forced to guess. These lessons do not teach rules to different forms of the words, when to use a different word, and why. This is very frustrating. I feel like if i try to speak to a Ukrainian they will laugh at me
Jean564934 is correct. This discussion is linked from the exercise for 'Яке моє ім'я?' 'What is my name?'
Yep - I got here from: "What is my name?" Translation:Як мене звати? Correct solution: Яке моє ім'я?
So when I saw the correct answer it threw me a little haha
The exercice before litterally told me that "What is my name?" Translated as 'Як мене звати' and my choices here were 'Biktoр, вікторія, моє, яаке, ім'я, вибачти' and 'як'. Then when i go for Comment it does show the right reply which is 'як мене звати'. Does that happen often?
I have a book im using for Ukrainian and it says you can say "Моє ім'я -." I havent tried it in the course yet but id like some insight.
yes, that's one of the possible answers. Mene zvaty (Peter) or Moye imya - (Peter).
Outs saying this is the correct answer: Яке моє ім'я ...why does it only give me this option? Idk what this even means
Яке is like "what is". Моє is "my". Ім'я means "name", it is a neuter gender word, which affects the forms of the words before it.
Yes, I have seen a few things on here that are sort of explainable, but this time Duolingo - you really have to fix this.
In this question on Android, the answer is not the same as the words we had to choose from in the question.
Man i really do hate the random errors in duolingo but grateful it's free. The options were all incorrect so regardless i was going to get it wrong.

I went through Duo Russian and I learned that имя is a word for "first name," so I am guessing that ім’я would mean the same thing in Ukrainian.
I think you can use it for males and females. The people on the forum say its neutral so Id assume you can use it for anyone except for groups of people.
Can be also Аян. Ian McKellen is called Ієн in Ukrainian Wikipedia. Not that I agree, but. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ієн_Маккеллен
It depends how you pronounce it. Phonetically, I would spell Ian as Іян, with the emphasis on the first letter, but I can hear Ієн in the way some English people say it.
Іан maybe. Іян sounds about right too. Off topic but I wonder if one way is more abnormal? Like spelling olivia as olivyah?
