National Lazy Day – August 10

Where we are, dark clouds have moved in … it’s a stormy afternoon. So, we feel a bit lazy. Maybe because somewhere today it’s National Lazy Day. But … wait!

What about Ukrainians who every day have dark skies filled with drones, dropping deadly bombs?

So … instead of being lazy, we’re going to write some postcards to the front! Even a couple of Christmas cards.

To take away that feeling of dark sky laziness, and to think of the sunny smiles our cards will give to Defenders.

And, to help us along, our mother branch in Ukraine offers some translations of useful phrases to write. We’re enjoying the delightful curves and unique shapes of the Cyrillic alphabet!

Try some of these phrases:

1. We proud of you (plural) – Ми пишаємося вами

2. We read news about Ukraine every day – ми читаємо новини про Україну щодня

3. We wish you health and happiness (single form)- Ми бажаємо тобі здоровʼя і щастя

4. Our country stays with Ukraine – наша країна ЗА Україну

5. What you do is incredible – те, що ви робите, неймовірно

6. Thank you – Дякую

7. Please, be careful (plural) – будь ласка, будьте обережні 

8. Greetings from over the ocean – вітання з-за океану 

Keep sending those cards! Prizes await you!
