Figure 4

Hopefully your Ukrainian guests and friends will enjoy good health, but in case you need to help them with medical issues or accompany them to a doctor’s appointment, this section includes some relevant language.

The vocabulary in this section is detailed because it is also intended for healthcare professionals.

Figure 1 (repeated)

Let’s start by asking ‘How are you feeling?’

Як Ви себе почуваєте? Yak vy sebe pochuvaiete? How do you feel? / How are you feeling? (pl.) This is the plural form – if you are a healthcare professional, talking with a patient, you would use this polite plural form.

Як ти себе почуваєш? Yak ty sebe pochuvaiesh? How do you feel? How are you feeling? (singular, informal). A host would probably say this to a guest. We hope the reply will be dobre or even duzhe dobre or chudovo but just in case, there are some other answers in the table and audio below.
