    "Ridna" vs. "Ridnya"

    Upon reading some titles of songs from a Ukrainian CD, I noticed that one song has "Ridna" in the title, while the other has "Ridnya".

    I can find "Ridnya" which means "relatives", in my Ukrainian dictionary, but I was unable to find "Ridna" there. Variation of the same word? Or totally different meanings?

    Рідня - "ridnya" - "relatives" (noun)
    Рідна - "ridna" - "native" (adjective, feminine form, nominative case)
    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?
