Українська мова: Антисуржик

Antisurzhyk is a Ukrainian language trainer for those who want to speak more clearly and accurately every day. Common tracings, surzhyk forms, complex accents and current spelling - in short exercises that do not require the Internet.

1200+ words and sentences from the dictionary, explanations for each, two-way search and interval repetition, which returns exactly what you got wrong.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Quick rounds
Ten cards at a time. You see a common tracing - choose the literary equivalent. Then an explanation and an example sentence so that the word is remembered, not just guessed.

Accents
A separate mode for words in which the accent is most often confused. You can listen to the correct form if there is a Ukrainian voice.

Sentence corrections
A sentence on the screen, hidden in it are words that do not meet the norm. Find them by touching.

Commas
Put a comma where it is needed, and you will immediately see the correct arrangement.

Together or separately
Space, hyphen or together: by the way, firstly, from under, half an hour, every day. There are also compounds where both entries are normative.

Gender of a noun
Words in which the gender is easy to confuse: tulle, pain, path, salami. Sometimes there are two correct answers.

Flashcards
Try to remember the norm yourself, and then check yourself. The cards follow the same progress as the rounds.

Check the text
Paste or type your text — the application will highlight words from the dictionary and suggest answers. These are hints, not automatic correction: the decision is always yours.

Check directly from another application

Dictionary of the Ukrainian language
Search in both directions: both by the Surzhyk form and by the norm. Filters by topics: everyday life, work, transport, medicine, office, money, kitchen, emotions, spelling 2019 and regional words.

Rules and life hacks
Basic rules and ways to remember them. One rule - one card, read in half a minute.

Catchphrases
Expressions that everyone recognizes: from the classics, from the vernacular and from the Internet. Not mistakes and not norms - what the language lives on.

Regional words
A separate section for 180+ words: kanapka, rover, trempel, pljatsok, gazda. Not mistakes, but specific vocabulary of the territories - and in the directory they are marked exactly like that, without crossing out.

Play as a team
Quiz and "Crocodile" for the company: the phone goes in a circle, the teams go in turns. The results of the guests do not spoil your statistics.

Word of the day
One word every day at half past seven in the evening. The minimum habit that makes up the result.

Work on mistakes
Words that you made a mistake in return themselves: on the same day, in two days, in a week and in three weeks. There is no need to mark anything manually.

Test of purity of speech
Twenty questions without prompts. At the end - a percentage and level, which can be shared with the card.

Series, achievements and statistics
Days in a row, flawless rounds, accuracy by day, the weakest topics, how much vocabulary has been covered.

WHO WILL NEED THIS

Those who have switched to Ukrainian and do not want to drag tracing paper behind them. For those who write at work: letters, notes, official texts - without stationery. For students, teachers, journalists and editors. For parents who learn the language together with their children.

A few minutes a day are enough: the round is held in transport, and interval repetition will make sure that what is learned is not forgotten.

HONEST ABOUT THE CONTENT

The explanations are written specifically for the application, based on current spelling. The language is alive, and in some places linguists disagree in their assessments - such words are marked separately. Specific dialectisms too: these are not errors, but part of the language.

They are not ashamed here: the formulations are calm - the norm, a colloquial version, tracing is common.

If you notice an inaccuracy, there is a button on each card to write to us. We read and correct.
