And to be honest, Helen, I am often trying to find them boyfriends.
I mean, not in a hugely serious way, but it is on my mind.
Because it's very hard to find a boyfriend in Ukraine if you're a woman in your thirties right now because
your peers, your male peers tend to be doing other stuff, like they're in the army or in the emergency services.
Um it's it the in all seriousness the dating scene is very tough.
Anyway, we were being a bit silly.
I
was looking at a photograph of a handsome young Ukrainian man with a nice mustache and I showed it to them in case there was any interest.
And uh one of them
um, just burst out lo laughing and said this ridiculous Ukrainian phrase.
Usiki Propusk Vutrusiki, which means a moustache is a pass to your
Knickers, basically.
Which I demanded to be taught immediately and much merriment was caused.
Much merriment was it proved
you?
Uh it has proved useful, Helen.
Not in not in the straightforward sense, but actually all the vocabulary in that phrase is useful.
All
