Ukrainian voice over, natively reviewed.
Ukrainian is a distinct language with its own vocabulary and sound, and audiences expect it to be treated as one, not adapted from Russian.
Accents and variants of Ukrainian.
- Standard Ukrainian
- The standard of national media, public bodies and corporate content.
- Western Ukrainian colour
- A light western accent, as heard around Lviv.
- Conversational voice
- A relaxed reading for consumer and social content.
What a native Ukrainian reviewer checks.
- Ty or Vy
- Vy is the polite form and suits business content.
- Ukrainian vocabulary
- We use Ukrainian terms, not words borrowed from Russian.
- Vocative case
- Addressing a person by name uses the vocative case, which a script must apply.
Writing for Ukrainian.
- Never translate from Russian
- A script built through Russian carries Russian structure. Write from the source.
- Cases on inserted values
- Names and numbers take endings. Each insertion is reviewed.
- Stress
- Stress is not marked in writing and a reviewer listens for it.
Ukrainian voice over: questions.
Is a Russian voice acceptable for a Ukrainian audience?
For content addressed to Ukrainians, no. Use a Ukrainian voice and a script written in Ukrainian.
Do we need a Ukrainian reviewer?
Yes. Spelling and vocabulary standards changed in recent years and a native speaker checks both.
