Breakdown of Запис є в реєстратурі.
Questions & Answers about Запис є в реєстратурі.
Because after в meaning in / at, Ukrainian normally uses the locative case for location.
- dictionary form: реєстратура
- locative singular: в реєстратурі
For many feminine nouns ending in -а, the locative singular ends in -і.
So:
- реєстратура = the reception/registry office
- в реєстратурі = in/at the reception/registry office
Є is the present-tense form of бути (to be), roughly is / exists.
In Ukrainian, the present tense of to be is often omitted, especially in simple identification:
- Він студент. = He is a student.
But є can still appear, especially when the idea is closer to there is / it is present / it exists.
In Запис є в реєстратурі, є gives the sentence a slightly more explicit sense of existence or presence:
- The record/appointment is at the reception
- There is a record at the reception
So it is grammatical and natural, even though Ukrainian often drops to be in the present tense.
