2.28. Grammar Time: Why Do the Words Differ? (Eng & Ukr)
In this episode, Alex finally breaks down why Ukrainian words change so much — and why one verb can suddenly look like five different words. He explains, in clear American English, how prefixes, roots, suffixes, and endings work together (just like LEGO blocks!), and Larissa gives short Ukrainian examples to help you hear the patterns. Easy, visual, and surprisingly fun.
You’ll pick up useful patterns:
• how prefixes like pry-, pere-, po- change meaning
• what the root is and why it carries the core sense
• how suffixes create new words (student → studentskyi)
• what endings show gender, number, and case.

In this episode, Larissa teaches you how to hear and build tricky Ukrainian numbers like 13, 30, and 300 — all through a fun, catchy song. Beginner-friendly, melodic, and super practical. Each line of the song is repeated and explained step by step.
You’ll pick up useful patterns:
«Meni vsioho trynadtsiat.» — “I'm only thirteen.”
«Trydtsiat — try i nul.» — “Thirty — three and zero.”

Perfect for anyone who still mixes up -nadtsiat' and -dtsiat' (don’t worry — everyone does at first!)
