Ура, интервью готово!

Ура is an interjection. It expresses joy, relief, or celebration, like Hooray!, Yay!, or Great!

It does not change form, and it is not grammatically connected to the rest of the sentence in the way a noun or verb would be. It simply adds emotion:

• Ура, интервью готово! = Hooray, the interview is ready!
• Ура! = Hooray!

Because Ура is an interjection, and Russian often separates interjections from the rest of the sentence with a comma.

So:

• Ура, интервью готово! = one exclamatory sentence with an emotional opening
• Ура! Интервью готово! = two separate exclamations, usually a bit more dramatic

Both are possible, but the version with the comma is very natural.

In Russian, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.

So where English says:

• The interview is ready

Russian normally says:

• Интервью готово

Literally, that is more like Interview ready, but the meaning is exactly The interview is ready.

If you want past or future, then forms of быть appear:

• Интервью было готово = The interview was ready
• Интервью будет готово = The interview will be ready

Интервью is treated as a neuter noun in Russian.

That is why the adjective is готово, the neuter singular form.

This can feel surprising to English speakers, because интервью is a borrowed word and does not have the typical Russian neuter endings -о or -е. But many indeclinable loanwords like this are neuter.

So:

• это интервью
• интересное интервью
• интервью готово

Because интервью is an indeclinable noun. That means its form usually stays the same instead of changing endings for case or number.

For example, you can get things like:

• это интервью
• нет интервью
• к интервью
• с интервью

The noun itself stays интервью.

This is common with some borrowed words in Russian.

We know from the agreement of the adjective готово.

Готово is:

• neuter
• singular
• short-form adjective

So it tells us that интервью is being understood as one interview, not several.

If it were plural, you would expect:

• Интервью готовы = The interviews are ready

Even though интервью itself still looks the same, the adjective shows the number.

Because готово is the short-form adjective, and short forms are very commonly used in Russian as the predicate, especially for states like ready.

So:

• Интервью готово = The interview is ready

But:

• готовое интервью = a ready/finished interview

Here is the difference:

• готово = short form, used after the noun as the main statement
• готовое = full form, used more like an ordinary descriptive adjective before the noun

A very common pattern in Russian is:

• Работа готова
• Обед готов
• Письмо готово

Because the adjective has to agree with the noun in gender and number.

The forms are:

• готов = masculine singular
• готова = feminine singular
• готово = neuter singular
• готовы = plural

Since интервью is neuter singular, the correct form is:

• интервью готово

It can mean either, depending on context.

With готов, Russian often expresses the idea that something is:

• prepared
• completed
• ready for use
• ready to be submitted or shown

So Интервью готово could mean:

• The interview is ready
• The interview is finished
• The interview is done

For example:

• if someone edited or prepared an interview text, it may mean It’s finished
• if someone was waiting for it to be available, it may mean It’s ready

There is no separate word for the or a in Russian. Russian has no articles.

So интервью can mean:

• an interview
• the interview

Context tells you which one is meant.

In Ура, интервью готово!, it probably means the interview, because the speaker likely has a specific interview in mind.

Yes. Russian word order is flexible, though different orders can sound more neutral, emotional, or stylistically marked.

The most neutral version here is:

• Интервью готово

With Ура, you get:

• Ура, интервью готово!

You might also hear:

• Ура, готово интервью!

That version is possible, but it sounds more expressive or marked. For a learner, Ура, интервью готово! is the safest and most natural pattern to use.

The stress is:

• Ура́
• интервью́
• гото́во

So the full sentence is:

• Ура́, интервью́ гото́во!

A rough English-style guide would be:

• oo-RA, een-teer-VYU ga-TO-va

The exact Russian sounds are different from English, but the most important thing for learners is getting the stress in the right place.
