"Я вільний."

Translation: I am free.

[Jones_Rick]

That is a very useful phrase. Thanks.

[Gumiennik]

Can this phrase be used to say "I'm single"?

[max.goncharuk]

Yes, you could say it.

[Iwan_Lviv]

"I'm single" = "я одинокий (самотній)" (only one; not one of several)

[sagitta145]

It can imply that, depending also on your intonation :]

[MariahLightfoot]

:) can this also be taken in the sense of "I am free from something"?

[Vinnfred]

Yes. Я вільний від [..]

This is the right translation. But why the translation that can be made out of the given words is "I am available"?

[Iwan_Lviv]

"I am available" = "я доступний"

but if someone wants to see anyone or what else then speak in general cases:

English "I am available ...."

українська: "я вільний ...."

[manat297076]

Thank you. I am fluent in both Ukrainian and English, but I see the connection between "I am free" and " I am available" as only applicable in two of the wide range of their meanings/applications. One of the two meanings is the one you mentioned. As so, I do not think they are interchangeable and disagree with Duo's representatives using "I am available" where "I am free" indeed should be the right translation.

[Iwan_Lviv]

:-) Thank you. I'm studying English.

[sagitta145]

I guess here they decided to allow flexibility and translate вільний as free, available; and available as вільний, доступний.
