Why it looks that way
From podalshyi, further along, in its place-form. The shorter way to say it is nadali, and that one means exactly the same.
A word with a story stays in memory longer than one learned as a “spelling — translation” pair: memory holds on to meaning, not to a string.

Nearby words: time, days and hours
Today, tomorrow, in the morning, at six. You cannot arrange to meet without these — let alone understand the answer.
- хвилинаminuteA word all its own — no "minute" inside. After five it shortens: pyat khvylyn, the counting form every number demands.
- годинаhourThe great false friend of the course: hodyna is an HOUR, not a year. A year is rik. Skilky hodyn? — "how many hours?" Keep them apart at all costs.
- сьогодніtodaySaid "siohodni", stress in the middle. A word that appears in every second sentence of daily speech — worth over-learning.
- завтраtomorrowZavtra bude doshch — "tomorrow there will be rain". The little helper bude, "will be", is the future of buty, which you just met.
- деньdayThe vowels jump around as the word bends: den, dnia, dniu. It covers both a day of the month and the daylight part of the day.
- ранокmorning (time of day)A word you just have to own. Z ranku means "in the morning", shchoranku "every morning" — the same root ran- inside all of them.
- вечірeveningSaid "vechyr". Keep it apart from vecherya, "supper": one ending separates the time of day from the meal you eat in it.
- нічnightSaid "nich", with the ch of "church". Vnochi means "at night" — the form looks nothing like the base word, but you will hear it every day.
- вчораyesterdayStarts with a v — do not drop it. The day before yesterday doubles the prefix: pozavchora, exactly like "the day before yesterday".
- рікyearWatch the cousin word: richka is "river", one letter apart. The year itself wobbles as it bends: rik, rokiv — the vowel runs.

How not to forget this word
Reading a word and remembering it are different jobs. A day later, little survives of a single reading — and that is not bad memory, that is how memory works.
- This has been tested on foreign words too. The difference shows up most when you test yourself a few days later rather than straight away.checked many timesKim & Webb, 2022, Language Learning 72(2) · 48 experiments, 3,411 participants, 98 comparisons.
- Recalling beats re-reading. Covering the translation and trying to remember it does more than reading it ten more times.checked many timesAdesope, Trevisan & Sundararajan, 2017, Review of Educational Research 87(3) · 188 experiments, 272 comparisons. g = 0.61; against plain re-reading 0.51, against passive review 0.93.
