Contexte culturel
Kyivans are proud of their city's hills and greenery. Saying you like the city often leads to a discussion about which park is the best. In Lviv, the 'city' is synonymous with coffee and chocolate culture. Liking the city implies liking its slow, Austro-Hungarian pace. Odesites have a unique sense of humor. If you say you like the city, they might jokingly ask 'Only the city, or the people too?' Modern tech workers in Ukraine often use this phrase when discussing the 'vibe' of IT hubs like Kharkiv or Dnipro.
