Questions & Answers about Ця безконтактна оплата не потребувала ПІН-коду.
Why is it ця, not цей or це?
Because оплата is a feminine singular noun in Ukrainian.
- цей = this (masculine)
- ця = this (feminine)
- це = this (neuter)
Since оплата is feminine, the demonstrative must agree with it:
- ця оплата = this payment
What does безконтактна literally mean?
Безконтактна literally means contactless.
It is built from:
- без- = without
- контакт = contact
- -на = adjective ending here, agreeing with a feminine noun
So безконтактна оплата = contactless payment.
Because оплата is feminine singular, the adjective also appears in the feminine singular form:
- безконтактний (masculine)
- безконтактна (feminine)
- безконтактне (neuter)
