Litaki Letyatv ?

Can someone translate that for someone who can only decipher Cyrillic on a Kindergarten level?

[–] Skiluros@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

The planes are flying.

Although in another thread on this topic it seems the Swedish MoD said the delivery would only be after the end of the war. Which seems ridiculous if true.

New build ones would be after the war, but they're saying that the possibility of transferring some of Sweden's existing aircraft remains open

[–] Skiluros@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Let's hope at least existing ones will be delivered.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Are they putting a time limit on the war, or will they only deliver them once there’s some kind of armistice?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Let's just say I'm pretty sure they are not delaying them unnecessarily since they have already gifted/delivered both fighter jets and surveillance planes.
So either it's a matter of production time in Sweden, or it's a matter of Ukraine focusing their resources during the war.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 2 points 2 months ago

No idea, I'm afraid

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That sounds a lot like incentivizing Russia to... not end the war.

FYI that last character is just a β€œstop” character, not a Π²/Π’. So Letyat.

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, thanks for the explanation. Sounds as quirky as the french with their silent h… I mean, we generally see that a word is ending ;)

[–] ephrin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah my understanding of Ukrainian is limited to what I’ve picked up from DuoLingo. πŸ˜… I can see why you’d include a character like that in the middle of a word, but at the end? Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

[–] Ulara@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not a stop, this character indicates that the preceding consonant is soft.

[–] ephrin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the correction!
