The completed sentence appears in the player above; “Hear ending” repeats only the chosen ending. Ukrainian word endings may change: “I don’t speak Ukrainian” is Я не говорю українською, while “I’m learning Ukrainian” is Я вивчаю українську. For “nearest,” use найближчий, найближча, or найближче to match the noun. Polite ви forms are used for addressing people; translations express the natural meaning rather than matching every word.
