אוקראַיִנישע

⁧אוקראַיִנישע⁩ • (ukrainishe)

1. inflection of ⁧אוקראַיִניש⁩ (ukrainish):
   1. nominative feminine singular
   2. plural

Back-formation from ⁧אוקראַיִנישער⁩ (ukrainisher) (Ukrainian Jew), from a clipping of ⁧אוקראַיִנישער ייִד⁩ (ukrainisher yid).

⁧אוקראַיִנישע⁩ • (ukrainishe) f, plural ⁧אוקראַיִנישע⁩ (ukrainishe)

1. Ukrainian Jewish woman

• Yiddish rigorously distinguishes between Jews and non-Jews in national terminology. A Ukrainian non-Jewish woman is not an ukrainishe, but rather an ⁧אוקראַיִנערין⁩ (ukrainerin) or ⁧אוקראַיִנערקע⁩ (ukrainerke).
• This noun declines in much the same way as the adjective ⁧אוקראַיִניש⁩ (ukrainish), but without the separate predicate form. For example, the dative singular is ⁧אוקראַיִנישער⁩ (ukrainisher).
