In this episode, Larissa and Alex decode why your feed keeps saying “varenyky floor,” “loud cotton,” or “go to Kobzon’s concert”—and how bad auto-translate + dark humor turn into Ukrainian memes. Beginner-friendly, cozy, and practical.

You’ll pick up simple lines (and meme keys):

• «Pidloha varenyka» — really “varenyky floor.”

• «Bavovna» — “cotton” → cheeky “boom.”
• «Swan Lake» — TV shorthand for “the end is near.”
