they don't sound much different when you say them outloud in each language right?
Brandon Evans
It's Kiev. The Ukrainian dialect of the Russian language is not proper Russian.
Also, it's Lvov, Chernigov, Kharkov, Nikolaev, etc
Cameron Young
They sound different if you know at least one of those languages
Not that different for a foreigner I guess
Kevin Lopez
Kyiv
Ukrainian isn't a dialect of Russian you tard. There's quite a bit of similarities but that doesn't make it the same language. Even if it was a dialect it would still make more sense to spell it as Kyiv since that's how the locals know it as pronounced.
Nicholas Gonzalez
If they rename it to Zelenskigrad, I'll lose my shit.
Parker Cook
>Soon to be Putingrad
Kiev is the Mother of Russian cities.
Maybe Dnepr(former Ekaterinoslav) will be renamed, most probably to its previous name Dnepropetrovsk.
Ryder Perez
both wrong
it's Kijevas
Jayden Richardson
Neither. Its Kænugarður
Jackson Bell
Kiev is the capital of Ukraine. Kyiv is where the ghost is from
Isaiah Howard
but kiev is russia so kiev is the right way to write it
John Edwards
It was always Kiev. And now some leftist media starts using Kyiv which is confusing, because Dutch is phonetic and that's unpronounceable.
Joseph Sanders
Xavier Miller
Sorry dude, there are some bad news for you...
Brody Ward
Neither nation matters and therefore we call it by its English name of Kiev.
Lucas Foster
If two "different" languages are mutually intelligible, then they're dialects of each other.
It's always been spelt Kiev. Changing it to please the locals who corrupted the pronunciation makes no sense.
John Ward
In Croatian, which is a one letter one sound language, it's Kijev vs Kijiv.
Joseph Martin
What does it mean?

actually its Lemberg

Ukraine is just a Russian province

IT'S KYIV CHUD
Lincoln Jenkins
Ukrainians with a sense of humor will probably refer to the ruins of Mariupol as Putingrad.
Gabriel Rogers
Old norse/Icelandic name for it. Direct translation to english means boat garden/ship garden
Luke Brown
Well in Russian and Ukrainian it would be Kijev and Kyjiv according to your alphabet
There's a difference between i and y (i and и in Ukrainian or и and ы in Russian) sounds in both languages
Parker Green
Chicken Kiev
Carson Powell
I see
Josiah Thomas
It looks like everyone even western news called it kiev forever and only very recently decided to start calling it kyiv.
James Robinson
Greek is an Italian dialect
It's Kys
Ryder Roberts
it's kijów
Ayden Perry
Kyiv looks better typed out but Kiev sounds better pronounced. Simple as.
Juan Richardson
English is a French dialect
Evan Johnson
I am not a chud
I wasnt aware Kiev was russian imperialism
Kinda the same how spanish came to corrupt topography names like Cuauhnahuac (nowadays Cuernavaca)
Isaiah Myers
>ruins of Mariupol
Kys
Angel Scott
The fuck is that supposed to mean? Corrupted the pronunciation? By your shite logic Dutch wouldn't be a real language because they sound similar to German.
Tyler Flores
Italian is a Greek dialect
Michael Morgan
what about them
Hudson Rogers
Dutch is older than German.
Brayden Evans
what's really the point to spell it kyiv in english if english doesn't even have the ukranian и sound?
Jordan Murphy
>ruins of Mongolia
Today known as Russia
Brandon Watson
Yeah, that's right, no one really cared about Ukraine or Ukrainian language before
Personally, I don't mind when foreigners call it Kiev but it's kinda pleasant to me when they say Kyiv instead
Nicholas Baker
>Lvov
Lwów
Tyler Moore
I'm not a linguist dude and I didn't invent this way of spelling it so I don't know
Kevin Nguyen
Your military is turning an entire city into rubble and this time it's happening a bit too close to the first world. The Russian people will be paying for this for a long time, certainly for the rest of your lifetime.
Liam Russell
I thought they were pronounced the same way for the longest time. Just spelt differently
Cameron Wilson
Except they're not, just majority of Ukrainians know Russian. That's it. We don't call Norwegian a dialect of Danish or Portuguese a dialect of Spanish just because speaker of one can understand like 60 percent of another.
Asher Roberts
Nathan Richardson
It wasn't even Russian for majority of its history.
