imbg Теперь к загадочному для меня спору "на или в Украине" добавляется новый оборот - "Ukraine или the Ukraine"... Особо порадовала фраза:
Shortly after Ukraine gained independence in 1991, it asked Russia to stop referring to it as "na Ukraine" and instead switch to "v Ukraine," which basically means "in Ukraine" as opposed to "in the Ukraine."
Приобщится к прекрасному - ‘Ukraine’ or ‘the Ukraine’? It’s more controversial than you think.
