Travel requests and addressing people

Read a ticket request, ask for help and use a vocative.

At the station

квиток = ticket; автобус = bus; допомога = help. Learn Дайте, будь ласка, квиток до Києва. Я чекаю на автобус = I am waiting for a bus; this is one standard чекати construction.

Useful polite forms

Скажіть, будь ласка, де вокзал? = Please tell me where the station is. Допоможіть, будь ласка = Please help. Скажіть, допоможіть and дайте are explicitly learned polite/plural commands, not generated from the five regular paradigms.

Addressing a person

Ukrainian has a vocative for direct address: Олена → Олено; друг → друже; пан → пане. Compare Олена читає (Olena reads) with Олено, читайте! (Olena, please read!). Читайте is the polite/plural command from читати.
