You aren't speaking Ukrainian, you are speaking a creole, surzhik, with people that aren't obnoxious enough to point out your mistakes. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but nothing to draw conclusions from either.

- dongvsascript 6y agoso, to fit your narrative you're purposely ignoring the second part of that same sentence where i state i can fully understand ukrainian, yet not croatian and the other languages listed, and that you can't turn russian into serbian like you can with ukrainian because it's too different a language. you then tell me i'm speaking surzhyk, which i specifically said is what is being spoken. then you give me a wiki link, so i can find out about the thing my entire post is about. the fact that you can make суржик out of russian with ukrainian and belorussian, yet you can't with the other languages listed. because they are very different languages. which exactly disputes the claim of op, that they're the same. bravo sir. fox news is now accepting applications, and they want you.
