How to introduce yourself professionally in Ukrainian
To introduce yourself professionally in Ukrainian, you can start with the polite phrase “Дозвольте представитися” (Dozvol’te predstavytysya) which means “Allow me to introduce myself.” Then state your name with “Мене звуть [Your Name]” (Mene zvut [Your Name]) meaning “My name is [Your Name].” For example:
- Дозвольте представитися, мене звуть Микола.
(Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mykola.)
You can then add your profession or position if relevant:
- Я працюю [your profession/position].
(I work as [your profession/position].)
When meeting someone professionally, you might also say “Приємно познайомитись” (Pryjemno poznayomytys) meaning “Nice to meet you.”
A formal example introduction would be:
- Дозвольте представитися, мене звуть Олена Іванова. Я працюю менеджером з продажу. Приємно познайомитись.
(Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Olena Ivanova. I work as a sales manager. Nice to meet you.)
In a less formal context or networking setting, you can simply say:
-
Мене звуть [Your Name].
(My name is [Your Name].) -
Я з [your city or country].
(I am from [your city or country].)
These phrases help convey professionalism and respect in Ukrainian introductions.
