Writing to a pen pal in Ukraine
7 members of PenPalConnect live in Ukraine. Here is what helps a first letter land.
✍️ A few words to start and end with
Nobody expects a whole letter in their language. A greeting and a sign-off in it says you thought about who is reading — and gives them something to correct, which is a fine way to start a friendship.
Ukrainian
- Hello
- Привіт · Pryvit
- Opening a letter
- Дорогий / Дорога …, · Dorohyi / Doroha …,
- Thank you for your letter
- Дякую за твій лист. · Diakuiu za tvii lyst.
- Signing off
- З найкращими побажаннями, · Z naikrashchymy pobazhanniamy,
