Questions & Answers about Товар можна повернути, якщо тільки упаковка не має пошкоджень.

What does можна повернути mean, and why is there no subject like ви or ми?

This is an impersonal construction:

можна + infinitive = it is possible / allowed to ...

So можна повернути means can be returned or it is possible to return.

Ukrainian often uses this structure for rules, instructions, and policies, where English might use a passive:

• Товар можна повернути = The item can be returned

There is no need to name a subject such as you. The sentence is about a general rule, not about one specific person.

What case is товар here, and why does it look unchanged?

Here товар is the direct object of повернути, so it is in the accusative case.

But for many masculine inanimate nouns, the accusative singular looks exactly the same as the nominative singular:

• nominative: товар
• accusative: товар

So the form does not visibly change.

Also, Ukrainian often uses singular товар in a general or commercial sense, where English might say goods or an item/product, depending on context.

Why is the verb повернути used instead of повертати?
