“This is really cool! The UI is very intuitive and not annoying and the text it generated was interesting and the right level for me. This really is the first language tool I've seen in a while that's actually interesting and fresh.”

Ukrainian and Russian are East Slavic sister languages — fluent Russian speakers often understand around 50–60% of Ukrainian on first encounter, but the two have diverged significantly. Ukrainian shares more vocabulary with Polish and Belarusian, uses the letters і, ї, є and ґ (Russian uses и and lacks these), and has a vocative case for direct address. Stress is also more variable in Ukrainian.
Ukrainian has seven cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, locative, vocative), three genders, and verbs in perfective/imperfective aspect pairs. Free word order is conditioned by emphasis rather than syntax. Stress is unwritten and can shift across paradigms, often more dramatically than in Russian. The Cyrillic alphabet has 33 letters; the spelling reform of 2019 reintroduced some older variants.
