=== Formation of Present Tense Verbs === | |||
In Ukrainian, the present tense is used to describe actions that are currently happening or habitual actions. The formation of present tense verbs differs depending on whether they are regular or irregular. | |||
==== Regular Verbs ==== | |||
Regular verbs in Ukrainian typically follow a predictable pattern when conjugated. The infinitive form of a verb usually ends in '''-ти''' (ty). To conjugate, we remove this ending and add the appropriate ending based on the subject. | |||
Here’s how we form regular verbs in the present tense: | |||
1. '''Remove the infinitive ending -ти''' | |||
2. '''Add the present tense endings''' according to the subject. | |||
The endings are: | |||
* I (я): -ю / -у | |||
* You (ти): -єш | |||
* He/She/It (він/вона/воно): -є | |||
* We (ми): -ємо | |||
* You (plural/formal) (ви): -єте | |||
* They (вони): -ють / -уть | |||
Let’s look at some regular verbs as examples: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English | ! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English | ||
|- | |||
| читати || chytaty || to read | |||
|- | |- | ||
| я читаю || ya chytayu || I read | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| ти читаєш || ty chytayesh || You read | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| він читає || vin chytaye || He reads | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| вона читає || vona chytaye || She reads | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| ми читаємо || my chytayemo || We read | |||
|- | |- | ||
| You (plural) | |||
| ви читаєте || vy chytayete || You (plural) read | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| вони читають || vony chytayut || They read | |||
|} | |} | ||
Now let's look at another example with a different verb: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||

|- | |||
| я пишу || ya pyshu || I write | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| ти пишеш || ty pyshesh || You write | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| він пише || vin pyshye || He writes | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| вона пише || vona pyshye || She writes | |||
|- | |||
| ми пишемо || my pyshymo || We write | |||
|- | |||
| ви пишете || vy pyshyete || You (plural) write | |||
|- | |||
| вони пишуть || vony pyshut || They write | |||
|} | |} | ||
==== Irregular Verbs ==== | |||
Irregular verbs do not follow the regular conjugation patterns and must be memorized. Some common irregular verbs include '''бути''' (to be), '''йти''' (to go), and '''робити''' (to do). | |||
Here’s how we conjugate some of these irregular verbs: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||
! | |||
! Ukrainian !! Pronunciation !! English | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| бути || buty || to be | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| я є || ya ye || I am | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| ти є || ty ye || You are | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| він/вона/воно є || vin/vona/vono ye || He/She/It is | |||
|- | |- | ||

|- | |- | ||
| ви є || vy ye || You (plural) are | |||
|- | |||
| вони є || vony ye || They are | |||
|} | |||

Now, let's get started!
Formation of Present Tense Verbs[edit | edit source]
In Ukrainian, the present tense is used to describe actions that are currently happening or habitual actions. The formation of present tense verbs differs depending on whether they are regular or irregular.
Regular Verbs[edit | edit source]
Regular verbs in Ukrainian typically follow a predictable pattern when conjugated. The infinitive form of a verb usually ends in -ти (ty). To conjugate, we remove this ending and add the appropriate ending based on the subject.
Here’s how we form regular verbs in the present tense:
1. Remove the infinitive ending -ти
2. Add the present tense endings according to the subject.
The endings are:
- I (я): -ю / -у
- You (ти): -єш
- He/She/It (він/вона/воно): -є
- We (ми): -ємо
- You (plural/formal) (ви): -єте
- They (вони): -ють / -уть
Let’s look at some regular verbs as examples:
Ukrainian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
читати | chytaty | to read |
я читаю | ya chytayu | I read |
ти читаєш | ty chytayesh | You read |
він читає | vin chytaye | He reads |
вона читає | vona chytaye | She reads |
ми читаємо | my chytayemo | We read |
ви читаєте | vy chytayete | You (plural) read |
вони читають | vony chytayut | They read |
Now let's look at another example with a different verb:
Ukrainian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
писати | pysaty | to write |
я пишу | ya pyshu | I write |
ти пишеш | ty pyshesh | You write |
він пише | vin pyshye | He writes |
вона пише | vona pyshye | She writes |
ми пишемо | my pyshymo | We write |
ви пишете | vy pyshyete | You (plural) write |
вони пишуть | vony pyshut | They write |
Irregular Verbs[edit | edit source]
Irregular verbs do not follow the regular conjugation patterns and must be memorized. Some common irregular verbs include бути (to be), йти (to go), and робити (to do).
Here’s how we conjugate some of these irregular verbs:
Ukrainian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
бути | buty | to be |
я є | ya ye | I am |
ти є | ty ye | You are |
він/вона/воно є | vin/vona/vono ye | He/She/It is |
ми є | my ye | We are |
ви є | vy ye | You (plural) are |
вони є | vony ye | They are |
Another example with the verb йти:
Ukrainian | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
йти | yty | to go |
я йду | ya ydu | I go |
ти йдеш | ty ydesh | You go |
він йде | vin yde | He goes |
вона йде | vona yde | She goes |
ми йдемо | my ydemo | We go |
ви йдете | vy ydete | You (plural) go |
