Timothy Snyder uploaded his entire class on the history of Ukraine, and he talked about this song when he wrapped up the lecture. It was really beautiful, and I'm paraphrasing, but he talked about how it wasn't really a song about christmas, it was actually about the springtime. We think of the winter as an ending, and spring is a new beginning. So there's this song that we all think about as a winter song, winter being an ending, and it's actually about spring which is a beginning. So sometimes things that may seem like an ending (like the war threatening the future of Ukraine) are actually a beginning. It was really touching, and I think about it every time I hear this song now.

Хороший день. I am a new learner, thank you for providing these lessons and I hope 2024 will bring peace.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Wow I was not aware of the Ukrainian connection of the song , good to hear that..

[@bouboulinadecirta9302]

Дякую!!! Щасливого Різдва!💛💙

[@MichaelWheeler-ev1do]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Inna! Thank you so much for teaching us the beautiful Ukrainian language on your channel this year and hopefully we will witness Ukrainian victory soon next year. Take care and Slava Ukraini. 🇬🇧🤝🏼🇺🇦🎄🎁

[@jonsmachineshop]

дуже дякую! Щасливого Різдва! 2023 hasn't been an easy year, but you've made it through. Congratulations on all you have achieved, especially considering all the setbacks you've had to overcome. I hope 2024 is a great year filled with many victories! Щедрик is a beautiful song and you sang it very well. A woman named Eileen has an amazing arrangement of it on here that is well worth listening to. Merry Christmas and happy holidays, Inna! Разом до перемоги! Слава Україні!

[@Ranbo5]

Such a beautiful melody, and your voice. молодець! Слава Україні!

[@bhangg_high]

Perfect, I can now learn the full song past the first 4 words. I searched for a video EXACTLY like this one year ago. 1 hour ago, I see you have made it - perfectly. Inna, I have learned so much from you!! Merry Christmas from Canada!!!

[@Christopher-xd5in]

Is all of Ukraine super likeable? God loves you guys. My heart always with you. When I was young I was in Catholic school we sang songs . Ukraine has given us many many gifts

[@frankiejaylovell41]

Beautiful Voice Inna! You sounded GREAT when you sang "Carrol of the Bells" my friend! You have so many talents! ⚘️😊 Merry Christmas Beautiful!

[@MrDirtySanchiez]

Thanks for educating us. That song to me, is what I most associate with Christmas. If you ask me, Christmas isn't Christmas unless you watch 'Die Hard' and hear 'Carol of the Bells' at least once.

[@ludekpelcl5873]

Ščedrik - the text is in Ukrainian, but I think I understand a large part of the text even without a translator, because the words are very similar to Czech. A swallow flew in, she started chirping ... = Priletila lastivočka, stala sobi šebetati .... = Přiletěla vlaštovka, začala si štěbetat ... = ČESKY. Then the text is about lambs being born to the sheep (ovečce se narodily jehňátka) I wish you a very Happy Christmas from Czech Republic ! (In the Czech Republic, we celebrate Christmas between December 24 and 26).

I love your rendition of Carol Of The Bells! Beautiful! Merry Christmas!

[@intothewild9893]

ця всесвітньо відома пісня була написана у маленькому місті Тульчин, ВІнницької області. передаю всім вітання з цього міста, прямо з центральної вулиці Миколи Леонтовича, де і проживаю. пишаюсь нашим композитором, який подарував мелодію Різдва і Нового року всьому світу)

[@McTroyd]

Loved the choice of "Carol of the Bells." This is the first time I've heard it in any language other than English. Really cool to hear the original! 👍 Thanks, Inna.

[@laurentsalbert9630]

Thanks you Inna; thanks to you I discovered this song and now it's constantly in my mind , to the point I'm being able to "sing" a growing part of it by memory . And I do it a lot ! I wish you the best for 2024 and to find many many good things in your personnal "sheepfold " . Take care.

[@mile10000]

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Inna! :)

Saludos desde Argentina Inna, lo mejor para este año, un abrazo enorme 🤗

[@stephenarmiger8343]

Merry Christmas Inna! I know it will be hard. I just finished watching White Christmas which came out in 1954. You may probably know that the film begins in a war zone. I was thinking about you all as I watched the film and of my father who fought in Italy and was wounded in the invasion at Anzio. He recovered and fought until the war ended. Bless you!

[@kenhubar9934]

Merry Christmas Thank you

I love the original Ukranian version. 😊

[@andrewwarren4206]

Happy christmas. Nice singing.

[@stephenogier7499]

Congratulations on all those wonderful achievements and hopefully you will continue to grow in 2024. Thank you also for the information on Carol of the Bells - one of my favourite carols. I have often wondered whether it was a Christmas song in Ukraine. Now I know. Щасливого Різдва!

[@tanyacharbury4728]

Lovely singing and song, wow! Tonight I was at a Christmas party in Nevada, at a friend's house. Ten people were there. Someone asked for Christmas music, and I specifically asked for Shchedryk also known as "Carol of the Bells." So December 22nd, 2023, somewhere in America, people listened to Shchedryk. I mentioned that Shchedryk is a Ukrainian song, and I told the story of its origin. It felt good. So now more Americans know of Ukraine, and this song, and its story.

[@russrosio2568]

Have a great chrismas.

[@Christopher-xd5in]

Most people sing but are not that good. I'm learning oy u luzi.... I sing it not good but with heart and feeling. Rise up and rejoice

[@davidmares6053]

[@jhweisen]

Дякую Інно! Вітаю з успіхом вашої школи! Щасливого Різдва!

[@michaelhall4682]

Beautiful. I saw the film / movie Shchedryk a few weeks ago (English subtitles). You sang the song very nicely. Does щедрик means 'generous' or related?

[@SpeakUkrainian]

Yes, it does

[@golokavrndavana]

Great.. Nice project. Can be really helpful. Oxford level. :))

[@finlaypaterson2144]

Best wishes to you and family 🇬🇧🇺🇦🙏

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

We learned it as Ukrainian Carol of the Bells, and I first learned it in Grade 7. We performed it every year thru Grade 12 at our our Xmas Concerts, & all our alumni were invited up to sing it with us! We were told that obviously the Ukrainian words were different, but we had no opportunity to find out more back in the pre-Internet days. I’m glad to hear the original song, but I do still enjoy the English version we learned for so many years. 💙🙏🏼💛🇺🇦🫡

[@stevenwalsh3795]

Merry Christmas! 🇺🇦 Ukraine is our guiding light toward a better future

[@davidwhitfield7864]

Bless you, Inna. Щасливого Різдва!

[@stichhalbierer9329]

I love that song since I saw the video with the soldier in Kiew singing it. A wonderful stripped down version only with a guitar.

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

[@yukifoxscales]

Your singing voice might not be trained, but it is lovely. I started learning Ukrainian when I kept finding relatives with trees in Cyrillic alphabet; and it was easier to learn than to just keep cutting and pasting names to translate to roman characters.

[@yukifoxscales]

Oh, and I'm very glad to have found your channel.

We tried Kutia for the first time last week. It doesn't look anywhere near as tasty as it tastes. Served with Uzvar of course - so much nicer than the Danish mulled wine we usually get all December.

[@buddyrojek9417]

My grandma used to make with real opium poppies. We used to sleep so well after our Christmas meal )))

[@dymytryruban4324]

Christmas is also celebrated on January the 7th by Georgian, Serbian and Jerusalem Orthodox Churches, as well as the Athos monasteries, even though in Greece statutory Christmas is on December the 25th.

[@Jefflightning1291]

I have to be honest, until recently, I didn't know that "Carol of the Bells" was originally from Ukraine. I would have never guessed that. If you were to ask me where I thought "Carol of the Bells" was from, my first guess would have been Germany since a lot of the well known Christmas music (Silent Night, Canon in D, O Tannenbaum) was from there. If not that, either UK, France, or Italy. But very interesting nonetheless, especially since I play piano/keyboards.

[@X0verXDriveX]

I'm glad you're greatful for the help but I think we should do more. I think we should change the way the system works so we can provide more help and faster. The goal is the save and protect Ukrainian lives, right now, and I think we're not doing it right. I think we should be able to switch our production to make armored vehicules and ammunitions or what ever is required both for ourselfs and for our allies. I think we should be able to convert any production lines into something that could serve the military at any time. We've been thinking, believing and acting as if all people are good for way too long that we can't change how we work quickly unless we were attacked directly and I think it's one of our weaknesses. We've been relying on the Americans for way too long that now that they're stuck, help has come to an almost complete halt. We need to be able to protect ourselfs better so when we're at peace, we can help other countries that are at war a lot better. The truth is that America is protecting the world but we also should be able to protect America in case anything happens. I don't think we've been doing that in the past as if our ally was indestructible. By making ourselfs (NATO) stronger and more independant, we'd make America stronger too. We're always going to be allies with them no matter what happens. Anyway, I'm just thinking outloud. Glory to Ukraine, it's military and it's wonderful people.

I love this music and only recently learned that the composer was killed by moscovite agents a year before the Holodomor. His crime was sharing the beautiful Ukrainian language. Please don’t accept tea from strangers. Разом ми переможемо

Hi Inna...is your book Master Ukrainian Cases still available thru your online store? I am a Canadian volunteer living in Kharkiv working for Animal Rescue Kharkiv in the clinic...it's heartbreaking. This is my fourth stay in Ukraine as a volunteer...first three periods were 90 days each but now I have. F class visa so I will stay 6 months. I have to up my ability to speak with others. I will order as soon as you confirm availability of the book.🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇲💪

[@roseburgorflightteam8604]

Desyata hodyna vechora meaning 10:00 PM in Ukrainian 🇺🇦😀😃

[@lionelmandrake9413]

I believe the celebration on the 7th of January is from the calendar used by Orthodox tradition and 25th December is the Gregorian calendar of the West.

[@Nitesraven]

I do hear that some of the ukrainian orthodox churches here in canada are doing both dates. Cause some might not like the change.

[@baqaqipekhebi7148]

Correct!👍

[@SpeakUkrainian]

Yes, that’s true. Previously, Christmas had traditionally been celebrated on the 7th of January as many of Ukraine's Orthodox churches had historic connections with the russian Orthodox church, which celebrates Christmas on the 7th January. We don’t want to have any in common with russia 🙅🏻‍♀️

[@radmilaavlijas2222]

They are actually heartbroken. Why give up on yourself? Sad times. I am Serbian Orthodox and my GrecoCatholic Ukrainian friends would use the same greetings as us for Christmas which is Heavenly peace Christ is born and respond to that It’s true Christ is Born. We always greeted each other like that .

[@Christopher-xd5in]

Question. What happens for Christmas babies?

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

That certainly depends upon the family. Some families do most of their celebrating on Christmas Eve, and then they could have the person’s birthday on the 25th. But whenever Christmas is celebrated, it will be somebody’s birthday. And who better to share your birthday with than Jesus?

Hello mam I want to know that how’s the situation in Ukraine in Kherson. My friend is travelling in a bus . From some days she is not in my connection . I don’t know any person there .

[@SalyLuz-hc6he]

Just follow good Ukrainian information channels, and here are some of the best in case you are not sure: UA TV in English, Ukraine Matters, Jake Broe, Rick the Ukrainian, Artur Rehi, Perun, ATP Geopolitics, Greg Terry Experience, Professor Gerdes Explains, & UA EOD is demining in Kherson Oblast & possibly Zaporizhia Oblast at times, as needed. Your friend should be able to get what she needs to use her phone in Ukraine, and I hope you are in touch with her now.

Your comment sums up all of the tragedy of Ukrainian people, such disrespectful and degrading comment. I don’t think your ways will win at the end.
