Could someone please help with a translation?

[Brodie]

Hello! I am a newbie here, I was hoping somebody could please help me with a very short translation from English to Ukrainian.

I would like to know what the Ukrainian (in cyrillic) is for...

"To impress myself"


Any help appreciated. Thanks!

[Kathy]

Welcome to the board, Brodie. Can you please use the context you want in a sentence?

[Brodie]

Thanks for your speedy reply Kathy.

It's actually more like a quote/statement on its own. Not really used in a sentence.

Does this make sense?

[Kathy]

Sorry, no.

Ukrainian, in a lot of ways, is more precise than English, so the context in which you are using wording is very important.

[Brodie]

Hmm, ok I understand what you mean. I am trying to think of a simple way to explain it...

Think of it like a resolution! eg. To quit smoking, to exercise more...etc *laughs*

To impress myself...


Does that make sense?

Я пораділа сама за себе
Я порадів сам за себе
This means I enjoyed myself for having achieved smth - and as for me is the nearest translation for 'I impressed myself'

[Brodie]

Thanks so much for you help Irene.

Can you think of anything for the exact phrase "To impress myself"? The past tense isn't really what I'm looking for.

The reason I am being so fussy is that the exact phrase has a lot of meaning to me and I am wanting to get this as a tattoo (my family has Ukrainian heritage).

Thank you very, very much for your help!
