Questions & Answers about Брова над оком.

What does each word in Брова над оком mean?

• брова = eyebrow
• над = above / over
• оком = eye in the form required after над

So the whole sentence means something like The eyebrow is above the eye.

Why is there no word for is in the sentence?

In Ukrainian, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.

So:

• Брова над оком. literally = Eyebrow above eye.
• Natural English = The eyebrow is above the eye.

This is completely normal in Ukrainian, especially in simple statements, definitions, labels, and textbook-style examples.

Why is оком used instead of око?

Because the preposition над normally requires the instrumental case when it shows location.

Here is the pattern:

• око = nominative singular, basic dictionary form
• над оком = above the eye, with оком in the instrumental singular

So:

• брова = subject, nominative
• над оком = prepositional phrase, above the eye
