No. 713 in Ukrainian
сі
The Ukrainian word "сі" translates to "these" in English.
In a sentence
Сі люди прийшли до міста сьогодні.
These people came to the city today.
In this sentence, 'сі' functions as an attributive demonstrative pronoun, meaning 'these' and describing the noun 'люди' (people).
Він полюбляє сі посіятися мов дзвін.
He loves to spread his voice like a bell.
Here, 'сі' is used reflexively in combination with 'посіятися', conveying an idiomatic expression about speaking loudly and clearly.
Сі вечірки завжди веселі.
These parties are always fun.
Similarly as in the first example, 'сі' modifies the noun 'вечірки' (parties), serving the same demonstrative function.
