意思
Describing living arrangements
文化背景
Living with parents is often seen as a sign of a close-knit family. It is common for adult children to stay home to care for aging parents or to save for a wedding. There is a stronger social pressure to move out at 18 or after college. Living with parents as an adult is sometimes jokingly referred to as 'failure to launch'. Similar to Ukraine, Italy has a high percentage of 'mammoni' (mother's boys) who stay home for the food, laundry, and family connection. Living with parents until marriage is the traditional expectation, and moving out before marriage can sometimes be seen as unusual or rebellious.
The 'Soft' T
Make sure to soften the 'т' in 'батьками'. It's 'bat-ky', not 'bat-ky'. Your tongue should touch your teeth lightly.
Case Alert
Never say 'з батьки'. It sounds very jarring to a native speaker. Always use the '-ами' ending.

Adding 'Still'

In Ukraine, telling someone you live with your parents is a normal part of conversation. No need to apologize for it!
