It is nothing.

>>69346376

"na" is just russian form of autism
they adding "na" for islands and for unknown reason to us - na ukraine.

>>69346376
The No Such Thing

>>69347758

We use Na when reffering to some regions like

na Mazowszu, na Podlasiu, Na Kaukazie etc

but never countries with 1 exception of Ukraine.

>>69347758
It sounds more pleasant this way, like there is a village called Kamenka, "пoeдeм нa Кaмeнкy" sounds better than "пoeдeм в Кaмeнкy"

Might as well get used to calling it Russia.

>>69346376
Russia

also no one has called it "the" ukraine since like 1986

>>69347758

njet

we also use na when referring to certain countries such as Hungary, Croatia, Sweden and the Netherlands, all of which end in the possessive suffix -ska in Slovene.

>>69347972

Wrong.

We use it for two real countries - Slovakia (na Słowacji) and Hungary (na Węgrzech).

Also islands and archipelagos, and some island countries like Philippines (na Filipinach).

Also non-countries - Belarus (na Białorusi), Lithuaniana (na Litwie) and Latvia (na Łotwie).

Also geographical regions, waste lands and shitholes like the ukraine (na ukrainie).

that's horrible. only squatting russians in tracksuits say that.

Little Russia

>>69348722

ah youre right we also use Na for Hungary, and 50/50 Croatia, Romania and possibly some others.

W Ukrainie doesnt sound wrong though

>>69346376
Ukraine comes from slavic root 'кpaй' which means side. U krai ina means on the side (of Russia). Even in Russian you dont say in Ukraine, you say 'on' Ukraine, unlike for any other country where you'd say in. So technically the Ukraine is correct.

>lemme tell you about your country
It's okay to talk like that everywhere, no matter where are you, in Petersburg or some rural village

>>69348863
No, Ukraina originally meant borderland of the Kingdom of Poland

I've noticed eastern europeans also refer to Irish places with 'the' in front of the name too

That doesn't seem wrong at all.

Not too sure. I usually just say Ukraine without the "the"
