Did you know?
- While тут means 'here', Ukrainians often use the word сюди when they mean 'here' as a destination, such as 'come here'. Using тут in that context would sound unnatural to a native speaker.
- Although 'тут' is used for 'here', if you want to say 'here is…' (as in, 'here is your book'), Ukrainians often prefer using the word ось instead.
- In casual speech, тут can be used to mean 'at this moment' or 'right now'. For example, a speaker might use it to describe a sudden event that just happened.
