Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the peculiarities of the category of number of Polish and Ukrainian nouns. To indicate the problem areas related to the teaching of the category of number to Ukrainian-speaking persons, the author analysed Polish and Ukrainian lexemes in terms of their fulfilments of the grammatical category of number. The article presents the contexts which may trigger errors, which in turn may cause a comical effect or distort communication. The data were collected from Polish and Ukrainian dictionaries, as well as the National Corpus of Polish and the Ukrainian Text Corpus.
