Isn't Качка a duck? That's not a duck. It's a coot: https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9B%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%B7%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BD%D0%B0

I think it's called Lyska (similar in Polish) since it's feet are like spoons. And I guess in both Polish and Ukrainian that would mean spoon?

Lysca is not like Ложка , other words and letters. Where are you from anyway?

Greece :) But my kid's mom is Polish. And I live in Berlin. So a very big mix!

A really great mix. Why do you write about animals in Ukrainian as well? As a Ukrainian, I'm curious about your motivation for doing this?

I started doing it on the 24th of February 2022 as a sign of support to my Ukrainian friends. Plus helps me learn more. The language has a lot more similarities to Polish than I would have expected!

Generally speaking, Ukraine's neighbors have a similar language to their neighbors' languages, except for the language of Russia, which for some reason is different from all of them. Even Belarusian has many similarities with Ukrainian
