Questions & Answers about Продавець може замінити товар.
What does продавець mean exactly? Is it specifically seller, or can it also mean salesperson/shop assistant?
Продавець usually means seller, salesperson, or shop assistant, depending on context.
In a store, it often means the person serving customers. In a more general business context, it can mean the person or party selling something.
It is a masculine noun. If you want to specify a female seller, Ukrainian also has продавчиня.
Why is продавець in this form?
Here продавець is in the nominative singular, because it is the subject of the sentence — the person doing the action.
So:
- продавець = the seller / a seller as the subject
If the noun changed role in the sentence, its form would change too. For example:
- немає продавця = there is no seller / there isn’t a seller
- бачу продавця = I see the seller
