імена
imena
The Ukrainian word for names is імена (imena).
імена means the names people are called by, such as first names.
How does it change in a sentence?
імена is the plural. The singular is irregular, so the plural cannot be guessed from it.
Did you know?
- While імена refers to personal names, Ukrainian uses the word назва for the 'name' or 'title' of an object, a movie, or a street.
- If you are filling out a formal form, the section for 'Full Name' is often titled ПІБ, an acronym for 'Прізвище, Ім'я, По батькові' (Surname, Name, Patronymic).
- Ukrainian culture often uses 'diminutives' to create affectionate versions of names, such as turning Олена into Оленка or Олесик.
