Glossary of Ukrainian words similar to German
© Kiselev O.M. 2007
The figure shows the Germans, III century AD.
In the Ukrainian language, one can find many words of Germanic origin, words common to Ukrainian and German, as well as words similar to German. Knowing these words helps in learning the German language. There are more such words in Ukrainian than in Russian. There are several reasons and eras for the emergence of common Ukrainian-German words. The Germanic and Slavic languages belong to the Indo-European language group and arose from the common proto-language of SANSKRITA. Therefore, in the Germanic and Slavic languages there are many similar single-root words; German for example. Mutter - Ukrainian matir, mother; German glatt (smooth, slippery, dodgy) - Ukrainian. smooth. During the era of the Great Migration of Peoples, German tribes (Teutons, Goths, etc.) passed through the lands of present-day Ukraine, including through the Lower Dnieper and Volhynia, for several centuries (in the 1st millennium AD). In Volhynia, the Eastern Goths were in the II - V centuries. AD Part of the German-speaking population did not go west along with the majority of their fellow tribesmen, but continued to live in the lands of present-day Ukraine. The Eastern Slavs appeared in Volhynia and the Dnieper region at about the same time, in the first half of the first millennium of a new era. Rare settlements of some German-speaking tribes interspersed with settlements of the Slavs. The inhabitants of these villages gradually merged with the Eastern Slavs and transferred to the latter part of their vocabulary. The German-speaking population influenced the language and culture Eastern Slavs, and later became related and merged with the Slavs. The ancient origin in the Ukrainian language of words related to Germanic is confirmed by the fact that among these words there are many such that denote the basic concepts of life (buduvati, dakh). In the Kiev region, there is still a settlement GERMANOVKA, known by this name for more than 1100 years. In the ninth century AD, and, perhaps, even earlier, close communication between Russia and the Varangians began, who brought with them from Scandinavia the language of the North Germanic (Scandinavian) group. From the Varangians, who came at the end of the 9th century. led by Prince Oleg to Kyiv, these words got into the language of the glades and drevlyans who lived in these places. The Glade and the Drevlyans spoke their own languages close to each other. And since the time of Christianization, the role of the written language in the whole Kievan Rus performed the Church Slavonic language, in which the Slavic Bible of Cyril and Methodius was written. Polyansky was the spoken language of the Kiev principality and became one of the progenitors of the Ukrainian language. During an eventful thousand years of history In Ukraine, German words penetrated into the Ukrainian language in other ways. The penetration of German words into the Ukrainian language continued first through the Polish language during the time of the Polish-Lithuanian state, which included Ukraine for a long time, and later through Galicia, which was part of Austria-Hungary for a long time. From ancient times, German specialists came to Ukraine (builders, carpenters, blacksmiths, brewers, bakers, directors, management personnel, etc.). They all brought with them the terms of their professions.
Not all words of the Ukrainian language, cognate with German, got into the Ukrainian language directly from the German language. Words common to these languages may have other origins. Separate German words entered Ukraine through Yiddish, the language of Eastern European Ashkinazi Jews. for example, the word gwalt (scream, noise), Gewalt, which in German means power, violence.
The presence in the Ukrainian language of many words common to Ukrainian and German is also explained by the borrowing by these languages of international words from Latin, Greek, French, English and other languages. There are many similar international words of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, English and French origin in Ukrainian and German. For example, the words kreyda (Kreide, chalk), education (Edukation, education), fainy (fein, beautiful). Some Ukrainian words in this glossary are not related to German words, but only accidentally similar, consonant with them.
It makes sense to indicate in one glossary all words common to Ukrainian and German, regardless of their origin. Knowledge of such words helps in learning the German language.
When pronouncing the Ukrainian sound "g", it should be borne in mind that in most cases it is pronounced as a voiced sound, paired with a voiceless sound "x", and in Russian - as a voiced sound, paired with a voiced sound "k". Therefore, Ukrainian words with the letter “g” are closer in sound to German words with the letter “h” (gartuvati - haerten - to temper).
In the glossary, first the Ukrainian word is given, then after the dash the German word, then the definite article showing the grammatical gender of the noun (in German), then in parentheses the meaning of this word in German, if this meaning does not completely coincide with the meaning of the Ukrainian word, then after dash - the Russian meaning of the Ukrainian word.

Ukrainian words similar to German
The figure shows the Germans, III century AD. In the picture - Ukrainians
In the Ukrainian language, one can find many words of Germanic origin, words common to Ukrainian and German, as well as words similar to German. Knowing these words helps in learning the German language. There are more such words in Ukrainian than in Russian.
There are several reasons and eras for the emergence of common Ukrainian-German words. The Germanic and Slavic languages belong to the Indo-European language group and arose from the common proto-language of SANSKRITA. Therefore, in the Germanic and Slavic languages there are many similar single-root words; German for example. Mutter - Ukrainian matir, mother; German glatt (smooth, slippery, dodgy) - Ukrainian. smooth. During the era of the Great Migration of Peoples, German tribes (Teutons, Goths, etc.) passed through the lands of present-day Ukraine, including through the Lower Dnieper and Volhynia, for several centuries (in the 1st millennium AD). In Volhynia, the Eastern Goths were in the II - V centuries. AD Part of the German-speaking population did not go west along with the majority of their fellow tribesmen, but continued to live in the lands of present-day Ukraine. The Eastern Slavs appeared in Volhynia and the Dnieper region at about the same time, in the first half of the first millennium of a new era. Rare settlements of some German-speaking tribes interspersed with settlements of the Slavs. The inhabitants of these villages gradually merged with the Eastern Slavs and transferred to the latter part of their vocabulary. The German-speaking population influenced the language and culture of the Eastern Slavs, and later became related and merged with the Slavs. The ancient origin in the Ukrainian language of words related to Germanic is confirmed by the fact that among these words there are many such that denote the basic concepts of life (buduvati, dakh). In the Kiev region, there is still a settlement GERMANOVKA, known by this name for more than 1100 years. In the ninth century AD, and, perhaps, even earlier, close communication between Russia and the Varangians began, who brought with them from Scandinavia the language of the North Germanic (Scandinavian) group. From the Varangians, who came at the end of the 9th century. led by Prince Oleg to Kyiv, these words got into the language of the glades and drevlyans who lived in these places. The Glade and the Drevlyans spoke their own languages close to each other. And since the time of Christianization, the role of the written language in all of Kievan Rus was performed by the Church Slavonic language, in which the Slavic Bible of Cyril and Methodius was written. Polyansky was the spoken language of the Kiev principality and became one of the progenitors of the Ukrainian language. During the eventful thousand-year history of Ukraine, German words penetrated into the Ukrainian language in other ways. The penetration of German words into the Ukrainian language continued first through the Polish language during the time of the Polish-Lithuanian state, which included Ukraine for a long time, and later through Galicia, which was part of Austria-Hungary for a long time. From ancient times, German specialists came to Ukraine (builders, carpenters, blacksmiths, brewers, bakers, directors, management personnel, etc.). They all brought with them the terms of their professions.
Not all words of the Ukrainian language, cognate with German, got into the Ukrainian language directly from the German language. Words common to these languages may have other origins. Separate German words entered Ukraine through Yiddish, the language of Eastern European Ashkinazi Jews. for example, the word gwalt (scream, noise), Gewalt, which in German means power, violence.
The presence in the Ukrainian language of many words common to Ukrainian and German is also explained by the borrowing by these languages of international words from Latin, Greek, French, English and other languages. There are many similar international words of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, English and French origin in Ukrainian and German. For example, the words kreyda (Kreide, chalk), education (Edukation, education), fainy (fein, beautiful). Some Ukrainian words in this glossary are not related to German words, but only accidentally similar, consonant with them.
It makes sense to indicate in one glossary all words common to Ukrainian and German, regardless of their origin. Knowledge of such words helps in learning the German language.
When pronouncing the Ukrainian sound "g", it should be borne in mind that in most cases it is pronounced as a voiced sound, paired with a voiceless sound "x", and in Russian - as a voiced sound, paired with a voiced sound "k". Therefore, Ukrainian words with the letter “g” are closer in sound to German words with the letter “h” (gartuvati - haerten - to temper).
In the glossary, first the Ukrainian word is given, then after the dash the German word, then the definite article showing the grammatical gender of the noun (in German), then in parentheses the meaning of this word in German, if this meaning does not completely coincide with the meaning of the Ukrainian word, then after dash - the Russian meaning of the Ukrainian word.
