The Art of Narrative, Nuance, and Native Logic
The Art of Narrative, Nuance, and Native Logic
Welcome to the second major installment of the B2 Advanced Proficiency Audit. This 100-question assessment is crafted for high-level learners who have mastered the "mechanics" of Ukrainian and are now refining the "soul" of their expression. This audit moves deep into the territory of Modern Slang, Historical Folklore, and Advanced Syntactic Structures.
At this level, fluency is found in the particles you choose, the idioms you weave into stories, and your ability to navigate the complex social landscape of contemporary Ukraine.

This test stress-tests your grasp of "Native logic" across several high-impact domains:
📜 History & Indefinite Nuance: Master the subtle differences between talking about "someone" (хтось) versus "a certain someone" (дехто). We audit these pronouns through the lens of Ukrainian history, from the laws broken by Cossacks to the pursuit of justice.
🎭 Folklore & Particle Precision: Small words like таки, аж, and ж carry the emotional weight of a sentence. We audit your ability to use these particles to emphasize reality, alongside idioms for "multitudes" (сила-силенна) and "giving your all" (викладатися на повну).
📱 Modern Slang & Digital Life: Speak like a contemporary resident. We audit "Gen-Z" and tech slang—from knowing your way around IT (шарити) to "ignoring" a message (морозитися) and starting a journey "from scratch" (з нуля).
🌍 Ecology & Advanced Comparison: Use the language of the future. We audit the structure for "increasing states"—things becoming "more and more" (дедалі більше)—and the specific vocabulary needed to discuss your carbon footprint (вуглецевий слід) and environmental protection.
🤝 Philanthropy & The Third-Person Imperative: Express wishes for the world. We audit the use of хай and нехай to form third-person commands and blessings, alongside the vocabulary of "charity" (благодійність) and "guardianship" (опіка).
Why this Audit is Your B2 Milestone:
Why this Audit is Your B2 Milestone:
The "Surzhyk" Filter: Learn to distinguish between textbook phrases and the authentic "one could say" (можна сказати) or "over time" (з часом) structures that define sophisticated speech.
Grammatical Deep-Dives: Master the Genitive Plural of irregular nouns (коней, яєць) and the nuanced difference between the conjunction "however" (проте) and the pronoun "about that" (про те).
Native Logic Patches: Every answer provides an instant breakdown of the logic governining the choice, helping you understand why a certain demonstrative or particle is the only one that "sounds right" to a native ear.
Are you ready to bridge the final gap between "fluent" and "native"? Let’s begin your B2 Language & Folklore Audit.
