Поїзд їде до іншого міста.

A rough pronunciation is:

PO-yizd YI-de do IN-sho-ho MEE-sta

A few useful notes:

• Поїзд = PO-yizd
  • The ї is pronounced like yi.
• їде = YI-de
• до = do
• іншого = IN-sho-ho
  • In standard Ukrainian, г is often pronounced like a soft h sound, not a hard English g.
• міста = MEE-sta

The letter ї is important: it usually sounds like yi.

Їде is from the verb їхати, which is used for going/traveling by vehicle or transport.

So with поїзд (train), їде is the natural choice.

Compare:

• він їде = he is going / riding / traveling by transport
• він йде = he is going / walking

A train does not walk, so Поїзд їде is correct.

The dictionary form is їхати.

In this sentence:

• їде = is going / goes
• it is 3rd person singular
• present tense

So literally:

• поїзд їде = the train goes / is going

Because the preposition до requires the genitive case.

The base form is:

• місто = city (nominative singular)

After до, it changes to:

• до міста = to the city

So in the sentence:

• до іншого міста = to another city

Because adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in case, number, and gender.

The noun is:

• місто — neuter singular

But after до, the noun goes into the genitive singular, so the adjective must also go into the genitive singular:

• nominative: інше місто = another city
• genitive: до іншого міста = to another city

So both words change together:

• інше → іншого
• місто → міста

Поїзд is in the nominative singular.

It is the subject of the sentence — the thing performing the action:

• Поїзд = the train
• їде = is going

So поїзд stays in its basic dictionary form here.

Ukrainian has no articles like English a/an and the.

So:

• Поїзд can mean a train or the train
• місто can mean a city or the city

Which one sounds best depends on context and translation choice.

In this sentence, English usually says The train is going to another city, but Ukrainian does not need a separate word for the.

Here до means to, in the sense of movement toward a destination.

Examples:

• до міста = to the city
• до Києва = to Kyiv
• до дому = home / to home

The key grammar point is:

• до
  • genitive case

So when you see до, you should expect the following noun to change form.

Yes, Ukrainian word order is more flexible than English because endings show the grammatical roles.

The neutral order here is:

• Поїзд їде до іншого міста.

But other orders are possible, for example:

• До іншого міста їде поїзд.
• Їде поїзд до іншого міста.

These can sound more literary, emphatic, or context-driven. For a learner, the original order is the safest and most neutral.

It can mean either, depending on context.

• right now / currently: The train is going to another city
• general or scheduled action: The train goes to another city

Ukrainian present tense often covers both meanings. Context tells you which one is intended.

It can mean both, depending on context.

• інше місто = another city
• інше місто can also mean a different city

In this sentence, English naturally translates it as another city, but the idea of a different city is also built into інший.

Yes — that is very useful.

A good pattern to remember is:

• до + genitive

Examples:

• до міста = to the city
• до села = to the village
• до школи = to the school
• до іншого міста = to another city

If you learn this as a chunk, it becomes much easier to build similar sentences.
