Questions & Answers about Ця будівля вища, ніж наш будинок.
Why is it ця and not цей or це?
Because будівля is a feminine singular noun, and Ukrainian demonstratives must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.
So for this:
- цей = masculine
- ця = feminine
- це = neuter
- ці = plural
That is why you get ця будівля.
A useful contrast:
- ця будівля = this building
- це будівля = this is a building or it is a building in some contexts
So ця is specifically the adjective form matching будівля.
Why is the adjective вища?
