Now let’s look at this dialogue closely. It starts with phrases already known to you: with informal greetings – Pryvit, Oleno! – Pryvit, Meri! – which shows that two friends have met. It continues with usual phrase Yak spravy? ‘How are you?’ Olena answers: Diakuiu, dobre, a yak ty? which means ‘Thank you, I am good, and how are you?’ Mary answers: Tezh dobre. It means ‘I am also good.’ And here Mary has noticed some people with Olena and she asks: Vybach, a khto tse? ‘Excuse me, and who is this?’ Let’s repeat this together: Vybach, a khto tse? Vybach means ‘excuse me’ and ‘sorry’. This is normal singular. Its plural form is vybachte. Please repeat once again: vybach, vybachte.
