"Мої брати"

Translation: My brothers

This reminds me of how I miss the word "siblings" in Ukrainian. There is no word for that, unfortunately.

[Vinnfred]

There is, but nobody uses it :)

Well, it's as good as if there were no such word... If I used it, no one would understand what I mean. They might also ask what region I am from.

[KuzmaS]

Ти ба! Вік живи - вік учися.

[IanCrumb]

I had to ask my 65 yesr old grampa how to pronounce it...

[Pia.M.]

We don't have the word for "siblings" in my native language either. Do I miss it? No way,that's what CONTEXT is for

[MatthewOrlowski]

So if you want to ask someone, "Do you have any siblings?", would you just use брати (similar to батьки), or would you have to say брати або сестри?

[Vinnfred]

You would say "У вас є брати чи сестри?" ("брати або сестри" means that you know that they have a couple of siblings, but you just not sure of their gender)

The word "брАти" means "to take" BTW :)

I have fifth screen of problem exercise

[Bryan.EDU]

Is the r sound trilled like in Spanish?

[sagitta145]

Actually, it could be either like "r" or "rr" in Spanish - if you're lazy you don't roll it, just make it short.

[deactivated user]

But you'd not normally pronounce "ррешта", only "решта".

[AndriiKr]

Yes, it corresponds to the same sound as r in Spanish.

I think the accent on some words is not the use in Ukraine. Please check the accent( example брати). The meaning is different if the accent is on the a or on the и.
