Did you know?
- In Ukrainian, unlike English, the word лего is often treated as an indeclinable noun. This means it does not change its ending even if you are talking about many different types of 'lego' pieces.
- Ukrainian children often use the verb 'будувати' (buduvaty), meaning 'to build', much more frequently than English speakers use 'to build with Lego', often saying 'Я будую лего' (I am building Lego) instead of 'I am playing with Lego'.
- Ukrainian users of лего frequently use the phrase конструктор лего, treating 'lego' as an adjective that describes the type of 'constructor' set.
