This lesson has several objectives.

1. To introduce you to questioning patterns in Ukrainian using the adverbs Куди? and Де?
2. To review questioning patterns which have been introduced in previous units.
3. To review greetings and farewells in Ukrainian.

Прислівники Adverbs

The adverb куди (where to) is an adverb which is used to create a question. It is only used when there is motion or movement in a particular direction indicated in the question. Note the examples given from the dialogue.

Куди ви йдете, хлопці?

Ми йдемо на футбол.

Two more examples of sentences where there is motion or movement are given below. New words which are introduced include концерт (concert), кіно (movie, cinema), and студенти (students).

Куди Лариса йде? Вона йде на концерт. А куди студенти йдуть? Вони йдуть на кіно.

On the other hand, the adverb де (where) is used to inquire about the location of people, places or things which are stationary. There is no movement implied, as in the examples given below.

Де мама? Вона вдома. Де Тарас? Він удома.

You will be introduced to more examples using куди and де in coming units.

For Review

You have been introduced to several ways to ask questions in Ukrainian using the following questioning words:

1. the interrogative pronouns Хто? (Who) Що? (What)
2. the particle Чи? (Is)
3. the interrogative adverbs Куди? (Where to) Де? (Where)

You have also been introduced to cultural terms which are commonly used when you meet friends, have a short chat and then part company. In Unit 1, you heard the greeting Добридень.

Добридень, пане Козак! Добридень, Романе!

In Unit 4, the term До побачення was used when the boys bid farewell to Taras’ father.

До побачення, тату!
