We use messages even more than any other kind of communication. Why? The answer is quite obvious - because it's fast and easy. The youth likes to write messages and use interesting short forms of the words. My pupil Elya Farkhadova prepared a table of the most popular Ukrainiang short forms and translated them into English. Here is the table:
