Letters Ц to Я and the apostrophe
Ш ш
sh
One spelling, two words.
Ukrainian writes за́мок, a castle, and замо́к, a lock, the same way. Only the stress tells them apart. Lymi keeps each as its own card, with its own stress and its own sound.
за́мок: Castle, замо́к: Lock, бра́ти: To take, брати́: Brothers, доро́га: Road, дорога́: Dear (feminine)
The mark leaves as you learn.
A card shows its stress mark until you know the word, then the word as Ukrainians write it. Each time you remember it, Lymi waits a little longer before showing it again. Turning the card over always shows the mark.

Add a word from today’s lesson. AI marks its stress, writes an example in Ukrainian with every stress marked, and says when a word looks Russian but means something else. It fills only what you left empty and marks what it wrote.

Hear where the stress falls.
A native Ukrainian AI voice reads every card and stresses the syllable the mark shows, so за́мок and замо́к sound different. If a card has its own recording, that plays instead.
Learning is more fun together.
Review a deck with your class, your tutor or a friend. One of you adds the words after each lesson and shares a link, and everyone reviews on their own schedule.

Questions before you start.
- Does Lymi show where the stress falls?
Yes. A card shows its word with a stress mark until the card is Known, then the word as Ukrainians write it. Turning a card over always shows the mark, and the examples on your cards keep theirs.
- What about words spelled the same?
Each stress is its own word. за́мок, a castle, and замо́к, a lock, are two cards, each with its own stress and its own sound.
- Will the AI slip into Russian?
It writes Ukrainian, and a native Ukrainian voice reads it. When a word looks like a Russian one but means something else, the card’s notes say so: неді́ля is Sunday, not a week.
- What does a card ask me?
One way at a time: the Ukrainian for its meaning, or the meaning for the Ukrainian. You think of the answer, turn the card over and say how well you knew it. There’s nothing to type.
- Can I bring my Anki deck?
Yes. Cards keep their schedule and their word recordings.
- Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Lymi runs in the browser on your phone and your computer, and you can add it to your home screen. Your cards and progress are the same on both.
- What does it cost?
Nothing. Lymi is free to use.
