For a few years, I've been teaching myself Ukrainian, and I'm doing reasonably well. But I'm having trouble with finding the correct translation for the word "look," as used in the following sentences: "You look good," "You look tired," "You look terrible." Look, as relates to one's appearance. I've tried everything I could think of, from appear, present, etc.. Can someone please help me with the correct word in Ukrainian?

Also, while I have you here, there's one other word-phrase that I'm having trouble with: to throw out, as in "to throw out the garbage." I see cast, toss, I've looked up discard, but I can't seem to find the simple translation for "to throw out," as in discard.

Doozhe doozhe dyakuyu, whoever you are, for your help!

Signed,
Sonia in New York

I'm not good at writing Ukrainian using the English alphabet.



of course you need to get the tense and gender right when you combine it with other words.

Hope this helps.

The problem is replying in the language letters ... so I had a brainstorm: image

Hope everything works out for you.
