Must-Know Ukrainian Phrases for Shopping in Ukraine: How can I politely ask for a bag in Ukrainian
A polite way to ask for a bag in Ukrainian is:
“Можна мені пакет, будь ласка?”
(Mozhna meni paket, budʹ laska?)
This translates to “Can I have a bag, please?” and is commonly used in stores or supermarkets when requesting a bag politely. Adding “будь ласка” (please) is important to keep the request courteous. Another variation you might hear from cashiers is:
“Чи потрібен вам пакет?”
(Chy potriben vam paket?)
meaning “Do you need a bag?” which is also polite.
The word “пакет” means “bag” in Ukrainian in this context.
