Two Important Rooms

This Unit introduces you to two rooms in a typical Canadian home.

У тексті ми чуємо:

Я тут, у кухні.

Вони там, у вітальні.

In the sentences from the dialogue, the words кухня (kitchen) and вітальня (front room or living room) are feminine nouns which appear after the preposition у/в. Recall that in the Locative Case:

я changes to і:

кухня --- у кухні
вітальня --- у вітальні

From a cultural perspective, these rooms are important gathering places for Ukrainian families. This is where family members congregate for meals, family relaxation and most importantly – to host guests, friends and relatives. It is important to Ukrainians, and to Ukrainian Canadians, to host people warmly by offering them good food, hospitality and an invitation to visit again.
