In this episode, Alex finally breaks down why Ukrainian words change so much — and why one verb can suddenly look like five different words. He explains, in clear American English, how prefixes, roots, suffixes, and endings work together (just like LEGO blocks!), and Larissa gives short Ukrainian examples to help you hear the patterns. Easy, visual, and surprisingly fun.

You’ll pick up useful patterns:
• how prefixes like pry-, pere-, po- change meaning
• what the root is and why it carries the core sense
• how suffixes create new words (student → studentskyi)
• what endings show gender, number, and case.
