: First of all there is standard transliteration table for instance at http://www.cad.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua/multiling/koi8-u/ukrorder.html
According to the standard letter ’ can only be written as ya at the beginning of the sentence, elsewhere it's ia, your transliteration is also non-standard. Same thing with yu/iu, ye/ie etc. See http://www.rada.kiev.ua/translit.htm
Besides, do you care about standards or what people have to say? So if I write ja instead of ya, will it change my words or express my opinion in a wrong way?
: Second, do not bullshit me with dialects.
: There is a regular Ukrainian language which I noticed you seem to know.
Yes, of course I do, but even I use some "non-literature" expressions, usually not in writing, but in talking.
: Other people do not, but they think they do. That is what I pointed out.
So what's your problem?? You don't understand them? Sure you do, like all English speaking people would understand y'all, yup, nope etc. And by using those words they can't discuss issues that worry all Ukrainians? They can't "give advice" because they don't speak the way you want them to?
: P.S. Do not teach me what pronouns I should use.
Then don't teach him what form of Ukrainian to speak.
