Questions & Answers about Ми садимо розсаду на грядку.

Why is it садимо, and not something like саджаємо?

Both forms exist in Ukrainian, depending on the verb pattern and regional or stylistic preference.

• садити = to plant / to seat / to put somewhere
• From садити, one common 1st person plural form is садимо = we plant / we are planting

You may also hear forms based on саджати / саджати(ся) in some contexts, but for learners, садити → садимо is a very standard and useful pattern to know.

So in this sentence:

• Ми садимо = we are planting / we plant

What form of the verb is садимо?

Садимо is:

• present tense
• 1st person plural
• from the imperfective verb садити

So it literally means:

• we plant
• or we are planting

In Ukrainian, the present tense of an imperfective verb can often translate as either an English simple present or present progressive, depending on context.

Why does розсада become розсаду?
