뜻
Giving directions.
문화적 배경
When giving directions, Ukrainians often use 'landmarks' rather than street names. Saying 'Йдіть прямо' is usually followed by 'повз церкву' (past the church) or 'до пам'ятника' (to the monument). In Kyiv's hilly terrain, 'прямо' might physically involve going up or down a hill. The direction refers to the street's path, not a flat horizontal line. In Lviv, you might hear the word 'просто' used instead of 'прямо'. This is a regional dialectal influence from Polish 'prosto'. In Ukrainian Google Maps, the voice command 'Йдіть прямо' is the most iconic phrase, often parodied in memes about being lost in 'sleeping districts' (residential areas).
Use your hands
In Ukraine, pointing while saying 'Йдіть прямо' is very common and helpful.
Don't say 'Прямий'
Remember that 'прямий' is for a 'straight line' or 'straight hair', not for directions.
