        Does чоловік also mean any human being (like человек in Russian) or only male person and husband?

          is муж not a synonym for husband?

            It's an archaism, not really used nowadays. Maybe only in some informal situations

            Is it the same for жена?

              жена is not a Ukrainian word. Жона - quite archaic, you can usually meet this word only in literature

              Thanks, so it follows the same rule, that the common Russian shortening is archaic.

                You can use "жінка" (woman) to mean wife :)
