What part of speech is додаток in this sentence?
Додаток is a noun serving as the subject of the sentence.
What grammatical case, number, and gender does додаток have?
It’s in the nominative case, singular number, and masculine gender.
What does the verb працює tell us about the action?
The verb працює is the third person singular, present tense, indicative mood of працювати. It means “(it) works” or “is working.”
Why does the verb end with -є instead of -е or another ending?

Could I switch the word order to Працює додаток? Would it change the meaning?
Yes, you could say Працює додаток, but the neutral, most common order is Додаток працює. Switching emphasizes that it’s the app (and not something else) that is working, or it can sound a bit more formal or poetic.
Are there any synonyms for працює in this context?
In a technical context, you might also see функціонує (functions) or діє (operates). Each has a slightly different nuance:
- працює = “works”
- функціонує = “functions”
- діє = “operates” or “is in effect”
Does додаток ever mean something else besides “app” in Ukrainian?
Yes. Outside of computing, додаток can mean “appendix,” “addendum,” or “supplement” (e.g., at the end of a book or document). Context tells you whether it’s “application” or “appendix.”
