    I’ve noticed Ukrainians seem to really love the word “cool”

    Zelenskyy used it to describe Bandera worship. Ukrainian spokespeople use it. That Azov guy who predicted the war described the war against Russia as “cool”

    Is this a translation thing?

      czenglish is sort of a thing, they basically say words from english but they lose their original meaning so now it means something different/adjacent to the other meaning. its sort of like how americans use words like gungho or brainwashing from china

      idk what the deal is with ukrainian on this though
