I think the English equivalent of взаємно is "likewise." :) For example, "Nice to meet you!" ... "Likewise!" It can be both formal and casual.

[@christinemason8166]

Likewise is very formal. Not used in regular conversation these days. Maybe 75 years ago.

In England, if you said to a stranger 'can we get acquainted' the person would run a mile! This well illustrates that learning a language is much more than simply learning foreign words.

Взаємно is equivalent to "likewise" in English.

Yes, and also the more informal “same here”.

I love you teacher 😜

[@oliverkersting2852]

As an addition to the English native speakers: the informal you "ти" is also only singular. The formal you "Ви" (with a capital 'B') is also the informal you in the plural form when not written with a capital 'в'. 1) "Звідки ти?", 2) "Звідки ви?" and 3) "Звідки Ви?" all is "Where are you from?", but 1) is informal when asking one person, 2) is informal when asking several persons, but 3) is formal. I'm German and there we've got the same three differentiations (But different: in German we use the 3rd person plural "Sie" with a capital letter as formal, but also some other regular form with a capital letter.)

[@timcoyle1417]

We have a ukrainian family living with us, learning to say a few polite phrases has been so useful…

[@BaskingInObscurity]

All the exchange students I've known who have stayed in the USA for a while have told me that we overdo courtesy, that is, greet people far more than necessary, especially in shops. :-) Having been abroad, I see it's true. It's easy enough to be respectful and polite without being oppressive or cheapening the gestures. The dark side of overdoing courtesy is that neglect and covert hostility stand out for the very absence of overdoing it. Bigotry often shows itself this way. Best to be equally polite in moderation to all strangers.

I have a question... Is writing Ukrainian in English the same as Mandarin Pinyin? Or is it just however sounds easiest to pronounce as an English speaker? I see many phrases in Ukrainian but everyone spells it differently in English.

[@danieltkach2330]

Use the alphabet that was designed for the language. Otherwise yes, as you said, there will be inconsistencies or confusion. It doesn't take long to learn Cyrillic. Good luck.

I have something in common with this Ukrainian woman on Twitter (we both love cats; she has 7 of them) and she STILL refuses to acknowledge that I exist. I've thought maybe I should stop being friends with her. I've never gotten a single response from her, not even about her cats. The other woman, who's 19 now, doesn't respond either. I don't know if that's because young people don't talk to old people in Ukraine or what else it could be. I'd just like to know what I do that makes people either cuss me out (American users do) or they go off the idea of talking to me soon after they meet me.

I guess it's too late to suggest including the phonetic English spelling. That way people can very easily know exactly which sounds you're making as it isn't always clear.

[@cephalopod7300]

This wouldn't work, as the sounds of different languages don't correspond all that much, and you just need to learn the mapping between letter and sound. It's trickier if you're not familiar with Cyrillic, but you sooner you get used to it the better.
