More about the philosophy of “RIDNA DOMIVKA”

The term “RIDNA DOMIVKA” is very difficult to translate into German, as there is no adequate term for both words. You could literally translate “RIDNA DOMIVKA” as “Sweet Home” or “The Born Home”: The parents' home we come from and the home we come from, i.e. “a home.” It is no coincidence that this name is used to refer to a cultural association, as these two words “RIDNA DOMIVKA” (in Cyrillic “RIDNA DOMIVKA”) embed the peculiarity of Ukraine's cultural identity and the uniqueness of the Ukrainian language.
