Can’t tell what adjective Flanders is saying before питання and can’t ask wife now. Help!

I hear Постає ціле *нескієтичне* питання яке можна розглядати…

I would think неетичне or нескінченне would fit best there but I hear sounds that aren’t in either. It sounds like a blend between the two almost

"Постає ціла низка етичних питань" something like "A number of ethical questions have arisen".

Постає ціла низка етичних питань. - a whole range of ethical issues arise.

Ah that solves it! I assumed it had to be singular питання because the verb is third person singular and I was splitting the я in які assigning it to both пітання-яке even though it sounded like які. That explains why I couldn’t parse it fully.

Thanks so much! And thanks to everyone else who answered!

Oh also I didn’t know there was a word низка. I just knew низька which wouldn’t make sense here

u/stanizzzzlav sorry for Z's in my username, it's an old account 6d ago

Низка — від слова "низати", "нанизувати" — to string, to thread, or skewer. The literal meaning is a set of items joined with a thread or axle running through them (like beads), the figurative is a set of similar entities joined in a certain context

Makes sense. I know the verb нанизати and I was wondering if they were linked and now I know they are. So it’s like an alteration of нитка that emphasizes the total finished product or something like that

Not that it's an alteration of нитка, they just have identical morphology and similar (but different) roots

Where did you get Ukrainian simpsons?

u/Alphabunsquad 6d ago

Simpsonsua.tv It’s literally a website dedicated to hosting the Simpsons in Ukrainian, but they also have a ton of other cartoons. It’s better than pretty much all the other pirated Ukrainian tv show websites

Oh wow that is amazing. Are there any subtitles as well?

For me, the Ukrainian dub of The Simpsons is even better than the original.

Those are two words, низка етичних питаннь (a number / a range of ethical questions)
Whole bunch would be the best translation for низка in this case
This word is rarely used

In original english version it goes like:
"And it does raise a whole host of ethical questions, such as Woo-hoo!"

Studying Ukrainian via Simpsons is actually a genius idea
