Questions & Answers about Я записався до сімейного лікаря.

Why is it записався and not just записав?

Because записатися is the verb meaning to sign oneself up, to register, or to book oneself in.

• записав = wrote down / recorded
• записався = signed up / registered / made an appointment

The ending -ся often makes the verb reflexive, so here the idea is that the subject did this for themself.

So:

• Я записав = I wrote down
• Я записався = I signed up / I registered

Does записався tell us anything about the speaker?

Yes. It shows that the speaker is male.

In the past tense, Ukrainian verbs agree with gender in the singular:

• записався = a man says it
• записалася = a woman says it

So if a woman were speaking, the sentence would be:

Я записалася до сімейного лікаря.
