Questions & Answers about Сімейний лікар призначив дозу.
Why is it сімейний лікар and not some other form?
Сімейний лікар means family doctor.
- сімейний = family / related to family
- лікар = doctor
The adjective сімейний has to agree with the noun лікар in:
- gender: masculine
- number: singular
- case: nominative
That is why it appears as сімейний, the masculine singular nominative form.
Why does лікар end in a consonant if it refers to a person? Is it masculine?
Yes, лікар is a masculine noun. In Ukrainian, many masculine nouns end in a consonant in the dictionary form:
- лікар = doctor
- студент = student
- брат = brother
So лікар is nominative singular masculine.
A useful thing to know: even if the doctor is a woman in real life, the noun лікар is still grammatically masculine. In everyday Ukrainian, this is normal.
