Questions & Answers about Ми думаємо про поїздку на острів.

Why is про used after думати?

Because the Ukrainian verb думати meaning to think about requires the preposition про plus the accusative case. This combination specifically expresses “thinking about” something.

What case is поїздку in and why does it end in -у?

Поїздку is in the accusative singular. The preposition про governs the accusative, and for feminine nouns ending in -а, the accusative ending changes to -у.

Why does the sentence use на before острів instead of в?

When indicating movement or destination toward islands, open spaces or surfaces, Ukrainian uses на + accusative. So “to the island” is на острів. In contrast, в is more common for enclosed spaces like rooms or buildings.

Why is острів unchanged in form here? Shouldn’t the accusative look different?

Острів is a masculine inanimate noun. In Ukrainian, inanimate masculine nouns have identical nominative and accusative forms in the singular, so you don’t see any visible ending change.

Can we drop the pronoun ми in this sentence?
