How to Say “Welcome to Scotland” in Ukrainian

Ласкаво просимо до Шотландії
The English phrase "welcome to scotland" is translated into Ukrainian as Ласкаво просимо до Шотландії.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase Ласкаво просимо literally translates to "kindly/graciously we ask [you] to come".

How does it change in a sentence?

The preposition до (to) requires the genitive case, which is why Шотландія (Scotland) changes to Шотландії.

Did you know?

  • The word ласкаво shares the same root as ласкати, which means 'to caress' or 'to pet'. This gives the Ukrainian welcome a subtle connotation of tenderness and warmth.
  • The word просимо comes from the verb 'to ask' or 'to request', implying that the hosts are politely requesting your presence.
  • While Ласкаво просимо is the standard greeting, Ukrainians may use Вітаю (I greet/congratulate) to welcome someone to a specific place in a more active and personal way.
