- 1烏克蘭的、烏克蘭人；也指烏克蘭語
Ukrainian works three ways. As an adjective it means belonging to or coming from Ukraine — Ukrainian food, a Ukrainian passport. As a noun it means a person from Ukraine: "She is a Ukrainian." And as a noun it also names the language, a Slavic language written in the alphabet and closely related to Russian but genuinely separate — close the way and Hakka are separate, not two accents of one thing. That last point is worth making to students, because for a long time people outside assumed Ukrainian was a kind of Russian, and Ukrainians find that insulting. Many people in Ukraine grew up speaking both, and since 2022 a lot of them have deliberately switched to speaking Ukrainian in daily life. Note that the language name takes no "the": we say "he speaks Ukrainian", never "the Ukrainian".
組成Ukraine + -ian, an ending that makes "from, like, or belonging to" — and also makes the person who belongs there.
