Зважте цей пучок кропу.

A natural word-by-word breakdown is:

• Зважте = weigh
  This is an imperative form: you are telling or asking someone to weigh something.
• цей = this
• пучок = bunch, bundle
• кропу = of dill

So the structure is literally:

Weigh this bunch of dill.

Зважте is the imperative form of the verb зважити, meaning to weigh.

It can be used for:

• you (plural) — when speaking to more than one person
• polite you (singular) — when speaking respectfully to one person

So in English it is simply weigh, but in Ukrainian it also carries that plural/polite meaning.

Related forms:

• зваж = weigh! (to one person, informal)
• зважте = weigh! (to several people, or to one person politely)

Because пучок requires the next noun to be in the genitive case.

• кріп = dill
• кропу = of dill

So:

• пучок кропу = a bunch of dill
• literally: a bunch of dill’s / of dill

This is very common in Ukrainian. After quantity/grouping words like шматок (piece), пляшка (bottle), склянка (glass), пучок (bunch), the following noun is often in the genitive:

• склянка води = a glass of water
• пляшка молока = a bottle of milk
• пучок кропу = a bunch of dill

цей means this, and it agrees with пучок, not with кріп.

Since пучок is:

• masculine
• singular
• inanimate

the correct form is цей.

So the phrase is:

• цей пучок = this bunch

Not:

• ця пучок — wrong, because ця is feminine
• це пучок — wrong, because це is neuter

Good question. Цей пучок is indeed the direct object, so it is in the accusative case. But for masculine inanimate nouns and their matching adjectives/demonstratives, the accusative often looks exactly like the nominative.

So:

• nominative: цей пучок
• accusative: цей пучок

They are the same in form here.

That is why the sentence looks simpler than it might actually be grammatically.

You can say Зважте кріп, which means Weigh the dill. But that focuses on the dill as a substance or item.

Зважте цей пучок кропу is more specific:

• пучок tells you the dill is in a bunch
• цей points to a particular bunch: this bunch

So the sentence sounds like something you might hear at a market or grocery stall, where herbs are often sold in bunches.

Here зважте comes from the perfective verb зважити.

In imperatives, the perfective often means:

• do it once
• complete the action

So Зважте цей пучок кропу means something like:

• Please weigh this bunch of dill
• Go ahead and weigh it

If you used an imperfective imperative, it would usually sound more like focusing on the process, repetition, or general instruction. In this situation, the perfective is the natural choice because the speaker wants one completed action.

Yes, зважте can sound polite because it is the plural/polite imperative.

Depending on tone and context, it can mean:

• a direct instruction: Weigh this bunch of dill.
• a polite request: Please weigh this bunch of dill.

Ukrainian often expresses politeness through:

• the plural/polite form
• intonation
• sometimes adding words like будь ласка = please

For example:

• Зважте, будь ласка, цей пучок кропу. = Please weigh this bunch of dill.

You would say:

Зваж цей пучок кропу.

Here:

• зваж = singular informal imperative
• зважте = plural or polite imperative

So the difference is:

• Зваж... = to one person you know well
• Зважте... = to several people, or politely to one person

Yes. Ukrainian word order is more flexible than English, because case endings show the grammatical roles.

The neutral order here is:

• Зважте цей пучок кропу.

But you could also hear:

• Цей пучок кропу зважте.

This shifts emphasis toward this bunch of dill.

In everyday speech, the original order is the most straightforward and natural if you are simply asking someone to weigh it.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide is:

ZVAZH-te tsey pu-CHOK KRO-pu

A few notes:

• зважте: the жт cluster may feel awkward at first. Say it roughly as zvazh-te.
• цей sounds close to tsey.
• пучок has stress on the last syllable: пуЧОК.
• кропу has stress on the first syllable: КРОпу.

If you say it slowly and clearly as

ZVAZH-te tsey pu-CHOK KRO-pu

you will be understood well.

No. Пучок means a small bundle, bunch, or cluster, depending on context.

It is often used for things like:

• herbs
• green onions
• flowers
• hair
• wires or sticks grouped together

In this sentence, because of кропу, it clearly means a bunch of dill.

So пучок is a general noun, and the following genitive noun tells you what kind of bunch it is.
