Questions & Answers about Парк сонячний.

Is “Парк сонячний” a complete sentence in Ukrainian, or is it just a phrase?

It is a complete sentence. In Ukrainian, especially in the present tense, the copula “is” is typically omitted. So “Парк сонячний” translates to “The park is sunny” without needing an explicit verb.

Why is there no word equivalent to “is” in the sentence?

Ukrainian grammar allows the omission of the present tense of the verb “to be.” This means that descriptive sentences can simply list the subject followed by an adjective, making “Парк сонячний” both grammatically correct and complete.

How do the noun “Парк” and the adjective “сонячний” agree with each other?

Both words are in the masculine singular nominative case. The adjective “сонячний” takes on its -й ending to agree with the noun “Парк” in gender, number, and case, which is a key feature of Ukrainian adjective-noun agreement.

Can the adjective be placed before the noun (i.e., “сонячний парк”) and does that change the meaning?

Yes, you can say “сонячний парк” to mean “sunny park.” The meaning remains the same. However, placing the adjective after the noun as in “Парк сонячний” can add a stylistic or emphatic nuance, often used to highlight the park’s quality as if it were a predicate.

Why isn’t there any article before “Парк” like “a” or “the,” as we would use in English?

Ukrainian does not have articles like English does. There isn’t a direct grammatical equivalent for “a” or “the,” so nouns like “Парк” are used without an article, and context is relied upon to convey definiteness or indefiniteness.
