It is now time to present bronze and silver medal in my top list of 12 favourite Ukrainian words.
Bronze medal
In third place, we find a soft, round and friendly word. To me it sounds a bit like fields, maybe a river flowing through them, and a slightly undulating landscape.
Silver medal
On second place, we find yet another word that just as well could be a name. It is both strong and soft at the same time, and it’s maybe one of those words that I think the best fit between the sound of the word and the meaning!
That was place 3 and 2. Next week I will present the 1st place on my list of favourite Ukrainian words. I can tell you this much, it is an animal with connotations to freedom and strength. And it’s a word where I prefer the plural form before the singular form. Both are worthy winners though. Stay tuned for next weeks reveal of the complete list!
