Gloves, mittens and mittens: how to do it correctly in Ukrainian (Photo: freepik/freepik)
According to the famous linguist and teacher Oleksandr Avramenko, the correct use of words helps not only to preserve the purity of the language, but also to avoid ambiguities.
Knight or knight: how to say it correctly in Ukrainian and why it is important
In the modern Ukrainian language, there is a concept for hand protection: mittens and mittens. The Russian word “gloves” is also widely used, which successfully established itself in the language during the years of Russification. In his lesson, Avramenko emphasizes: “Our dictionaries know two words – gloves and gloves. But they do not mean the same thing.” He also adds that knowing the language is the key to national identity.
In this material, we will consider how to use these words correctly and in which cases each of them is appropriate.
What do these terms meanGloves
Gloves in Ukrainian mean a means of protecting the hands, which has two main parts: one for the four fingers and one for the thumb. This type of mittens is usually used for winter walks and children’s clothing.
Gloves
Gloves denote products that protect each finger separately. This concept is more general and refers to what can be sports, medical, winter or operational. Example: leather gloves for drivers or protective latex gloves for medics.
Gloves
The word “gloves” is a Russian term and should not be used in the Ukrainian literary language. Instead, analogies should be used depending on the context. For example: winter gloves, cotton mittens.
“But boxing gloves can be both mittens and gloves, depending on the size,” the linguist concluded.
To use the Ukrainian language correctly, you should choose between mittens and mittens. The word “gloves” is slang and does not correspond to Ukrainian literary standards.
