Usage notes

  • In a few districts in Western Ukraine, this word is used to mean a kind of dumpling that is one of Ukraine's national dishes, parallel to the Polish pierog. Elsewhere in Ukraine this word instead refers to a baked pastry, parallel to the Russian пирог (pirog), and the dumplings are instead called варе́ники pl (varényky), singular варе́ник (varényk). However, because the Ukrainian diaspora was founded by people from those particular parts of Western Ukraine, diaspora Ukrainians, particularly those who have been in diaspora for multiple generations, use the word in the Western Ukrainian regional sense. See also pelmeni, and пиріжок/пиріжки́.
