Questions & Answers about Сегодня спокойный день.

Why is there no word for is in Сегодня спокойный день?

In Russian, the verb to be in the present tense is usually omitted in simple sentences like this.

So instead of saying something like Сегодня есть спокойный день, Russians just say Сегодня спокойный день.

You can think of it as:

• Сегодня = today
• спокойный день = a calm day

Russian simply puts the two parts together without is. This is standard and not considered incomplete or informal; it’s the normal way to speak and write.

What part of speech is Сегодня, and does it change form like nouns do?

Сегодня is an adverb meaning today.

Important points:

• It does not change for case, gender, or number.
• It always stays Сегодня, no matter how you use it.
