Additional information
1. хлопець should not be confused with холоп(ка) or хлоп(ка), a derogatory term used, in the past, to denote serfs or bonded peasants
2. хлоп is sometimes used colloquially to mean guy, especially in Western Ukraine, e.g. from a song by the Не журись band: 'Львівське пиво - то є класа, робить з хлопа супераса' (Lviv beer is really classy, it turns a bloke into a superhero).
