Does the word family have 2 meanings??

What is difference between сім'я and родина?

[iwc2ufan]

What exactly does ' function as in family? I haven't figured out how to do it on my homophonic Ukrainian keyboard, so I keep getting it wrong.

It means there is no palatalization of М, and "я" is pronounced as /ja/.

In Ukranian it is used in many positions when a labial consonant (б, п, в, ф, м) is followed by я (or ю/є/ї), but it just reflects the pronunciation, so it is used in other cases as well.

Labial thing is also not that simple :)

No apostrophe if there's another consonant (except р) before labial consonant: свято, цвях, черв'як

I can't figure out how to get the apostrophe on the Ukrainian keyboard on Ubuntu. I get an apostrophe, but Duolingo doesn't like it.
