Questions & Answers about Це шостий переказ коштів.
Why is there no word for is in the sentence?
In Ukrainian, the present-tense verb to be is usually omitted in simple statements like this. So Це шостий переказ коштів naturally means This is the sixth transfer of funds, even though there is no separate word for is.
What does це mean here?
Here це means this or, more naturally in English, this is. It is very commonly used to identify or point something out:
- Це мій друг. = This is my friend.
- Це шостий переказ коштів. = This is the sixth transfer of funds.
Why is it шостий?
Шостий is the masculine singular nominative form of sixth. It has to agree with переказ, which is a masculine singular noun. In Ukrainian, ordinal numbers behave like adjectives, so their endings change to match the noun they describe.
Why is it коштів and not кошти?
Because кошти depends on переказ and answers the question переказ чого? = a transfer of what? Ukrainian uses the genitive after переказ in this meaning, so:
- dictionary form: кошти
- genitive form: коштів
So переказ коштів literally means transfer of funds.
Is кошти singular or plural?
Кошти is a plural-only noun in Ukrainian. It means funds or money in a financial sense. That is why you see коштів, the genitive plural form, rather than some singular form.
Could I say грошей instead of коштів?
Yes. Переказ грошей is very common and natural in everyday speech. Переказ коштів sounds a bit more formal, official, or financial. Both can mean money transfer, but коштів often feels more like funds in a banking or business context.
Does переказ only mean a bank transfer?
No. Переказ can also mean retelling, rendering, or translation/adaptation in other contexts. But when you say переказ коштів, the meaning is clearly financial: transfer of funds or remittance.
Is the word order fixed?
Not completely, because Ukrainian word order is fairly flexible. But Це шостий переказ коштів is the most neutral and natural order for a plain statement. Changing the order would usually add emphasis or sound less standard in everyday usage.
What is the grammatical role of переказ коштів in the sentence?
It works as the main noun phrase after це. Inside that phrase:
- переказ = the head noun
- шостий = an ordinal adjective modifying переказ
- коштів = a dependent noun in the genitive, showing what is being transferred
So the structure is basically:
Це + шостий переказ коштів
This is + the sixth transfer of funds
Can this sentence also mean It is the sixth transfer of funds?
Yes. English may translate це as this or it, depending on context. If you are pointing to a transaction on a screen, This is the sixth transfer of funds sounds natural. If the context is already established, It is the sixth transfer of funds may sound better in English. Ukrainian це can cover both kinds of idea.
