2.11. Jokes Google Can’t Translate (A1–A2)
Update: 2025-06-13
Description
In this episode, Larissa and Alex decode why your feed keeps saying “varenyky floor,” “loud cotton,” or “go to Kobzon’s concert”—and how bad auto-translate + dark humor turn into Ukrainian memes. Beginner-friendly, cozy, and practical.
You’ll pick up simple lines (and meme keys):
- «Pidloha varenyka» — really “varenyky floor.”
- «Bavovna» — “cotton” → cheeky “boom.”
- «Swan Lake» — TV shorthand for “the end is near.”
