A lot of people know Russian pretty good decided that he can understand Ukrainian very well. Of course, you will understand Ukrainian better with knowledge of Russian, then without it, because we have a lot of similar and the same words, especially loaned from latin language and modern words. But don't be very confident! There are some words, which look or sound very similar in both languages, but they have different meaning. I want to show you this words, to avoid misunderstanding.
Some of words have completely different meaning, and some of them have just more then one meaning in one language, and several meaning in other language.
