Oh, and another question. When is it appropriate to use иметь over the у+genitive construction?

Actually Ukrainian is not a dialect, it's a language with it's own history. Believe me, 'cause i'm citizen of Ukraine and I speak Russian and Ukrainian fluently.
PROUD TO BE UKRAINIAN!

I believe he meant the Ukrainian dialect of Russian; or, rather, that the phenomenon being described could be heard from speakers of Russian from Ukraine. (So difficult to word...:) In any case, I would hope that most of us know that Ukraine has its own language, and a beautiful one at that!

Uhhh yeah, I'm sure cema meant the Ukrainian dialect OF Russian... Not the Ukrainian language...

We had an exchange student from Kamyanets-Podolski... But she hardly ever spoke in Russian, so I didn't find out if she uses иметь over y+genitive.
