Common mistakes to avoid in Ukrainian professional email writing include the following:

  • Lexical errors such as interference from Russian (due to language proximity), tautology, pleonasms, and inappropriate use of paronyms.
  • Grammatical mistakes including incorrect singular noun, adjective, numeral, pronoun forms, improper preposition usage, participle formation errors, and wrong pronoun use.
  • Syntactical issues like overuse of reflexive verb forms (verbs ending in -ся) and non-standard use of prepositions within syntactic constructions.
  • Register and punctuation errors that reflect a lack of awareness of formal language norms needed in professional communication.
  • Inadequate language style, specifically failure to maintain a formal and polite tone suitable for business correspondence.
  • Common speech mistakes caused by direct translations or inappropriate influence from other languages (especially Russian), regionalisms, and social dialects.
  • Failure to observe Ukrainian spelling and punctuation rules according to the current Ukrainian orthographic standards.
  • Overloading sentences with redundant information or complex constructions that reduce clarity and professionalism.

Avoiding these mistakes involves careful editing for language norms, use of appropriate vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, proper punctuation, and adherence to the formal business style required in a professional email context. 1, 2, 3, 4
