Questions & Answers about Сильний вітер свистить у парку.
Why are there no articles (a/an, the) in Сильний вітер свистить у парку?
Ukrainian does not use articles. Whether you mean “a strong wind” or “the strong wind” is understood from context rather than from adding a word for “a” or “the.”
What case is парку in, and why is it used here?
Парку is in the locative case (often called the prepositional case). When you talk about location in something, you use the prepositions в/у plus the locative. For a masculine noun like парк, the locative singular ending is -у, so парк → парку.
Why use у instead of в in у парку?
Both в and у mean in.
- Use у before words starting with two or more consonants (e.g. у Львові).
- With a simple consonant start like парку, both в парку and у парку are correct. Many speakers choose у парку for smoother pronunciation.
