After the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, many of our citizens deliberately switched to the Ukrainian language. During communication, you can sometimes hear Ukrainians using Russianisms or surzhik words. For example, one of the flowers is called “marigold”.

There is no word for “marigold” in the Ukrainian language, since it is a tracing-paper from the Russian language. This color has the euphonious Ukrainian name “nagіdki”.

“Nagidki (Calendula L. A row of herbaceous and aromatic growths of the homeland of complex flowers with orange-yellow flowers collected in cats.

Earlier, linguist Alexander Avramenko told how to correctly say “podsnizhnik” or “prolisok” in Ukrainian.

Let us remind you that some Ukrainians do not know how to greet correctly, so they often use surzhik words for this.. But the Ukrainian language is rich and euphonious, so there are at least ten beautiful options for greetings.
