Ми дорослішаємо, але все одно пам’ятаємо своє дитинство.

Yes. Ukrainian often drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• дорослішаємо = we are growing up / we grow older
• пам’ятаємо = we remember

So Дорослішаємо, але все одно пам’ятаємо своє дитинство is also possible.

Including ми makes the subject more explicit. It can add a slight sense of contrast or emphasis, like we grow older, but still remember.

Дорослішаємо comes from the verb дорослішати, which means to grow up, to become more adult, or to grow older/more mature.

In this sentence:

• дорослішаємо = we are growing up / we grow older

Grammatically, it is:

• 1st person plural
• present tense
• imperfective verb

The imperfective aspect fits well because this is seen as an ongoing process, not a single completed event.

Ukrainian uses the present tense here for general, ongoing truths:

• Ми дорослішаємо = We are growing up / getting older
• пам’ятаємо = we remember

This is similar to English, where you can also say:

• We grow older, but still remember our childhood
• We are growing up, but still remember our childhood

So the present tense is natural because both actions/states are current and continuing.

Yes. Але is the standard Ukrainian word for but.

Here it connects two contrasting ideas:

• Ми дорослішаємо = we are growing older
• але все одно пам’ятаємо своє дитинство = but still remember our childhood

So але works just like English but.

In this sentence, все одно means something like:

• still
• all the same
• nevertheless
• anyway, depending on context

Here the best sense is still or all the same:

• але все одно пам’ятаємо = but we still remember

A useful thing to know: все одно is a very common expression in Ukrainian and can have slightly different shades of meaning in different contexts. Here it emphasizes that even though we grow older, the remembering remains true.

This is a very important Ukrainian pattern.

Свій / своє / своя / свої is a reflexive possessive adjective meaning one’s own. Ukrainian often prefers it when the possessor is the same as the subject.

So:

• Ми ... пам’ятаємо своє дитинство = We remember our own childhood

Using своє is very natural because the childhood belongs to the same people who are doing the remembering.

You could say наше дитинство, but своє дитинство sounds more idiomatic here.

A rough rule:

• use свій when the subject owns or is closely connected to the thing
• use мій, твій, наш, ваш etc. when you specifically want to name the possessor rather than use the reflexive form

Дитинство is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of пам’ятаємо:

• пам’ятати що? = to remember what?
• дитинство = childhood

So дитинство is the thing being remembered.

A useful detail: дитинство is a neuter inanimate noun, and for this kind of noun, the nominative and accusative forms are the same. So it looks unchanged.

Своє agrees with дитинство.

Since дитинство is:

• neuter
• singular
• accusative (same form as nominative here)

the adjective must match it:

• своє дитинство

Compare:

• своя книга = one’s own book
• свій друг = one’s own friend
• своє дитинство = one’s own childhood
• свої спогади = one’s own memories

The word order is flexible, but the given version is very natural:

• Ми дорослішаємо, але все одно пам’ятаємо своє дитинство.

You may also hear variations such as:

• Ми дорослішаємо, але пам’ятаємо своє дитинство все одно.
• Ми дорослішаємо, але своє дитинство все одно пам’ятаємо.

These are possible, but they shift emphasis a bit. The original sentence sounds the most neutral and natural for everyday Ukrainian.

So the word order is not absolutely fixed, but але все одно пам’ятаємо is a very standard sequence.

The apostrophe in Ukrainian is not the same as an English apostrophe for possession or contraction. It shows that the consonant before it is not softened and that the following vowel begins more separately, often with a y-like glide.

So in пам’ятаємо:

• м’я is pronounced more like mya
• the apostrophe prevents the м from becoming soft in the way it otherwise might

This is a common spelling feature in Ukrainian. You also see it in words like:

• ім’я = name
• п’ять = five
• об’єкт = object

A practical pronunciation guide:

• дорослішаємо ≈ do-ro-slee-SHA-ye-mo

The stress falls on ша:

• до-рос-лі-ша́-є-мо

A few points:

• доро- sounds like do-ro
• слі sounds roughly like slee
• шає is like SHA-ye

If you want to sound natural, make sure the stressed syllable ша́ is clear.

A practical guide:

• пам’ятаємо ≈ pam-YA-ta-ye-mo

The stress falls on та:

• пам’-я-та́-є-мо

Important details:

• м’я sounds roughly like mya
• тає sounds like TA-ye

So the whole word flows approximately as pam-YA-TA-ye-mo, with the strongest stress on та́.

Here дитинство means childhood in the general sense: the time when someone was a child.

It is an abstract noun, not a countable object. So it works much like English childhood:

• щасливе дитинство = a happy childhood
• пам’ятати дитинство = to remember childhood

In this sentence, it refers to the speakers’ own earlier years and memories connected with them.

It can, but it is not the most precise translation.

Дорослішаємо suggests an ongoing process:

• we grow up
• we grow older
• we become more adult/mature

We become adults sounds a bit more like a completed transition, while the Ukrainian form feels more continuous.

So better translations are:

• We are growing up, but still remember our childhood.
• We grow older, but still remember our childhood.

Yes. It sounds very natural Ukrainian.

A few things make it especially idiomatic:

• дорослішаємо expresses gradual growing up
• але gives a simple contrast
• все одно adds the sense of still / all the same
• своє дитинство uses the reflexive possessive in a very natural way

So this is not just grammatically correct; it is also phrased in a way a native speaker would comfortably say.
