Breakdown of Безконтактна оплата є у виписці з рахунку.
Questions & Answers about Безконтактна оплата є у виписці з рахунку.
Why does безконтактна end in -а?
Because безконтактна is an adjective agreeing with оплата.
- оплата is a feminine singular noun.
- Ukrainian adjectives must match the noun in gender, number, and case.
- So the feminine singular nominative form is безконтактна.
Compare:
- безконтактна оплата = contactless payment
- безконтактний платіж = contactless transaction/payment, with a masculine noun
- безконтактне зняття = contactless withdrawal, with a neuter noun
So the ending -а is there because the noun it describes is feminine.
What case is оплата, and why?
Оплата is in the nominative singular.
It is the grammatical subject of the sentence:
- Безконтактна оплата є...
- literally: The contactless payment is...
You can recognize nominative here because:
- dictionary form: оплата
- it is the thing being talked about
- it agrees with безконтактна, which is also nominative feminine singular
What does є mean here, and do Ukrainians always use it?
Є means is / exists / there is.
In this sentence, it links the subject to its location:
- Безконтактна оплата є у виписці з рахунку.
- literally: The contactless payment is in the account statement.
However, in modern Ukrainian, є is often omitted in the present tense, especially in everyday speech.
So you may also see:
- Безконтактна оплата у виписці з рахунку.
That can sound more natural in many contexts.
Using є is not wrong; it can add a slight sense of explicit existence or emphasis.
Why is it у виписці, not виписка?
Because after у / в meaning in, Ukrainian uses the locative case.
The noun is:
- виписка = statement / extract
In the locative singular, it becomes:
- у виписці = in the statement
So:
- виписка = nominative
- у виписці = locative
This is a very common pattern:
- книга → у книзі
- школа → у школі
- виписка → у виписці
Why does рахунок become рахунку after з?
Because з here means from, and that normally requires the genitive case.
- dictionary form: рахунок
- genitive singular: рахунку
So:
- виписка з рахунку = statement from the account / account statement
This is a fixed and very common banking expression.
A useful pattern:
- документ → документа
- банкомат → банкомата
- рахунок → рахунку
Does рахунок mean account or bill?
It can mean both, depending on context.
Common meanings of рахунок include:
- account (especially bank account)
- bill (for example in a restaurant)
- invoice
- score or count, in some contexts
Here, because of виписка з рахунку, it clearly means account:
- bank statement
- statement from an account
So the surrounding words tell you which meaning is intended.
What exactly does виписка з рахунку mean?
It means account statement or bank statement.
Word-for-word:
- виписка = extract / statement
- з рахунку = from the account
So the whole phrase is:
- виписка з рахунку = statement from an account
This is a standard banking phrase in Ukrainian.
Why is it у and not в?
У and в both usually mean in.
Ukrainian often chooses between them for ease of pronunciation and smoother sound. This is called euphony.
So:
- у виписці
- в виписці
Both are possible in principle, but у виписці sounds smoother here.
This alternation is very common:
- у Києві
- в Україні
- у банку
- в магазині
You do not need to overthink it at first; native usage is strongly guided by sound.
Is this the most natural way to say it?
It is understandable, but depending on context, a Ukrainian speaker might choose a more natural wording.
Possible alternatives:
- Безконтактна оплата є у виписці з рахунку.
- Безконтактна оплата у виписці з рахунку.
- Безконтактну оплату видно у виписці з рахунку.
- Безконтактна оплата відображається у виписці з рахунку.
The last two can sound more natural if the meaning is something like:
- The contactless payment appears on the account statement
- You can see the contactless payment in the statement
So the original sentence is grammatical, but in real-life banking language, a verb like видно or відображається may sound more idiomatic.
Can the word order change?
Yes. Ukrainian word order is more flexible than English word order.
The original sentence:
- Безконтактна оплата є у виписці з рахунку.
Other possible orders:
- У виписці з рахунку є безконтактна оплата.
- У виписці з рахунку безконтактна оплата.
The emphasis changes slightly:
- starting with Безконтактна оплата focuses on the payment
- starting with У виписці з рахунку focuses on the location, the statement
This flexibility is normal in Ukrainian, though not every version is equally natural in every context.
How would this sentence be pronounced?
A rough pronunciation guide is:
BezkonTAKTna opLAta ye u VYpystsi z raKHUNku
A few points:
- stress in безконтактна: -такт-
- stress in оплата: -пла-
- є is pronounced roughly like ye
- stress in виписці: ви-
- stress in рахунку: -хун-
If you already read Cyrillic, the main thing to notice is that unstressed vowels are usually still pronounced more clearly than in English.
