Questions & Answers about Дворник убирает мусор во дворе каждое утро.

What does дворник literally mean, and what kind of job is it?

Дворник is a yard/janitor worker—someone who keeps the area around a building clean (the courtyard/yard, entrances, sidewalks). It’s closer to caretaker/groundskeeper than to an indoor “janitor,” though in practice the jobs can overlap depending on the building.

Why is the verb убирает (and not a past or future form)? What tense is it?

Убирает is present tense (3rd person singular) of убирать. In Russian, present tense is used for:

• what someone is doing now, and also
• habitual actions (“every morning,” “usually,” etc.). Here the phrase каждое утро makes it clearly habitual: “(He) cleans every morning.”

What is the aspect of убирает, and why is that aspect used here?

Убирает comes from убирать, which is imperfective. Imperfective is used for:

• repeated/habitual actions (every morning),
• ongoing processes (“is cleaning”). A perfective like уберёт would point to a single completed cleanup (often future: “will clean up”), not a routine.
