Tryzub

Okay, so imagine you have a special sign that shows your family or group that you belong to. This sign is called a symbol. Tryzub is a symbol that comes from Ukraine, which is a country in Europe.

The word "tryzub" means "trident" which is a type of a fork with three big sharp points. Just like how a fork is used to hold and carry things, a tryzub is used by Ukrainian people to represent their history, culture, and pride in their heritage.

The tryzub is made up of three lines that come to a point, just like a trident's three points. The lines can be different colors, like blue or yellow, and sometimes even have different designs, like stripes or stars.

The tryzub is an important symbol for Ukrainian people because it reminds them of their country's independence and strength. It has been used on their national flag and coat of arms for many years. Ukrainian people even wear tryzub necklaces or bracelets to show their love and pride for their country.
