How to correctly write the names of holidays in Ukrainian
By following certain rules, you will be able to correctly and competently write the names of holidays and solemn events in Ukrainian.
When we talk about holidays, sometimes we think about how to write them correctly – with a capital letter or a small letter.
Linguist Oleksandr Avramenko explained how the names of holidays are written. The spelling of holiday names depends on the “scale”. If it is a private holiday, then you need to write with a lowercase letter. For example, when you want to wish someone a happy birthday.
“Private holidays are written with a lowercase letter, for example, a birthday. But with public holidays, it's different,” he noted.
The expert added that if the name consists of two or more words, only the first word should be capitalized. For example:
- New year
- Teacher's Day
- Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation
However, there are three public holidays worth capitalizing every word….
