Примірка буде сьогодні.

Примірка usually means a fitting or trying something on to check the size/fit.

Most often, you hear it in contexts like:

• примірка сукні — a dress fitting
• примірка одягу — trying on clothes

So in this sentence, it means the fitting.

Буде is the future tense of бути (to be), third person singular: will be.

So literally, the sentence is:

• Примірка буде сьогодні. — The fitting will be today.

In natural English, this is often translated as:

• The fitting is today.

Ukrainian uses буде because the event is still in the future, even if it is later the same day.

Ukrainian does not have articles like a/an and the.

So примірка can mean:

• a fitting
• the fitting

Which one sounds right depends on the context.

Here, English usually says the fitting, but Ukrainian just says примірка.

It is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence.

The basic structure is:

• Примірка — the subject
• буде — the verb
• сьогодні — today

So this is a straightforward subject + verb + time expression sentence.

Сьогодні is an adverb of time, meaning today.

It tells you when the fitting will be.

It does not change for case, gender, or number here.

Yes. Ukrainian word order is fairly flexible.

These are all possible:

• Примірка буде сьогодні.
• Сьогодні буде примірка.
• Буде примірка сьогодні.

They all mean roughly the same thing, but the emphasis changes:

• Примірка буде сьогодні. — neutral; focuses first on the fitting
• Сьогодні буде примірка. — emphasizes today
• Буде примірка сьогодні. — possible, but less neutral in everyday speech

The first version is very natural.

Yes, you sometimes can.

• Примірка сьогодні. — The fitting is today.

This sounds shorter and more conversational. Ukrainian often leaves out to be in the present.

But буде adds a clearer future sense:

• Примірка буде сьогодні — the fitting will be today

So both can work, but буде makes the timing feel more explicitly future.

In modern Ukrainian, є is usually not used the way English uses is/are in simple identity or scheduling sentences.

So:

• Примірка є сьогодні sounds unnatural in most everyday contexts.

Much more natural are:

• Примірка сьогодні
• Примірка буде сьогодні

A useful rule: in the present tense, Ukrainian often omits the verb to be.

A helpful pronunciation guide is:

• примі́рка бу́де сього́дні

Approximate pronunciation:

• pry-MEER-ka BOO-de syo-HOD-ni

A few notes:

• и in при- is not exactly the English ee
• г in сьогодні is a voiced sound, closer to a soft h than a hard English g
• дн in сьогодні can feel a little compressed in fast speech

Yes. A more formal or official-sounding version is:

• Примірка відбудеться сьогодні.

This literally means something like:

• The fitting will take place today.

Compare:

• Примірка буде сьогодні. — normal, everyday
• Примірка відбудеться сьогодні. — more formal, scheduled, official

Both are correct.

You make it negative with не:

• Примірки сьогодні не буде. — There won’t be a fitting today.

Notice that this version is often phrased a little differently in Ukrainian. Instead of directly negating the original sentence, speakers commonly say:

• Примірки сьогодні не буде

Here примірки is in the genitive case, which is common in this kind of negative existence/occurrence sentence. This is a useful pattern to notice, even if it feels different from English.
