Asking for internet access availability.
Contexto cultural
In major Ukrainian cities, Wi-Fi is often faster and more widely available in public spaces than in many Western European capitals. Ukraine has a massive IT sector. Cafes are often designed with 'laptop workers' in mind, meaning asking for Wi-Fi is expected and welcomed. During power outages, look for signs saying 'Starlink' or 'Wi-Fi працює від генератора'. This means the internet is available even if the grid is down. Offering Wi-Fi to a guest in your home is a standard part of modern Ukrainian hospitality, often done before the guest even asks.
Check the receipt
In many Ukrainian chains like 'Puzata Hata', the Wi-Fi password is printed at the bottom of your receipt.
Ask for 'Vay-Fay'
Even if you don't know much Ukrainian, saying 'Vay-fay?' with a rising intonation will be understood everywhere.
