Questions & Answers about Вона приміряє куртку на примірці.
What does приміряє mean exactly? Is it the same as puts on or wears?
No. Приміряє means is trying on something, usually to see whether it fits or looks good.
Compare:
- приміряти = to try on
- надягати / вдягати = to put on
- носити = to wear
So Вона приміряє куртку is specifically about testing the jacket, not simply wearing it.
Why is it куртку and not куртка?
Because куртку is the accusative singular form.
Here, куртка is the direct object of the verb приміряє: she is trying on a jacket. In Ukrainian, feminine nouns ending in -а usually change to -у in the accusative singular.
- куртка = nominative
- куртку = accusative
So:
- Куртка гарна. = The jacket is nice.
- Вона приміряє куртку. = She is trying on the jacket/a jacket.
