My brother went to visit my grandpa in Ukraine this summer and said the McDonald's there were totaly different and SO COOL! lol I havn't been back since I was 8, so I don't remember much. Did you go with school or something?
i went with a program through our school called American Councils.
American Councils
It was the best experience of my life so far. We were gone from home for a total of 21 days. Most of the cost was subsidized by the program. I think the total cost for the trip was a little over $2000(including airfare, meals, hotels not in our host city, everything)
>duren jak treba = with appropriate roots (my guess).
Roots = parents? In other words, he is the same fool as his parents are?
I adore Ukrainian jokes. For example one Ukrainian has bought a good new car, he is so happy while going home when a tire bursts out. He begins to dismount the wheel. His friend arrives (in my very bad Ukrainian):
- Здоровеньки булы, Микола, це таке робишь? (Good morning, Mycola, what are you doing?)
- Ни бачишь чи шо? Колесо сымаю. (Don't you see? I'm dismounting the wheel).
- Як? Це гарно. (Really? That's nice.)
The friend takes a stone and breaks the windscreen.
- Сто чертiв твоему батькi!!! Ты що, сказывся??!! (Goddamn you, are you crazy?!!)
- Ты колесо сымаешь? Сымай. A я в цеж у воного дурня магнитолку притырю. (You are dismounting the wheel? Keep on doing it. And I meanwhile will steal this fool's recorder).
LMAO! That's halarious! It's a shame that some Ukrainian jokes can't be trzanslated.
Wyrósł do nieba, a dureń jak trzeba!
In Polish - " Duży jak topola, a głupi jak fasola" it's the same mean
("You're big like poplar, and stupid like a bean")
