Ті, хто мають подвір’я, іноді підмітають стежку і сушать мокрі кросівки біля дому.

Ті, хто means those who.

• Ті = those
• хто = who

Ukrainian often uses this two-part structure just like English does in those who....
So:

• Ті, хто мають подвір’я = Those who have a yard/courtyard

You could think of Ті as pointing to a group, and хто introducing the description of that group.

The comma separates the main word Ті from the clause introduced by хто.

So the structure is:

• Ті, хто мають подвір’я, ...
• literally: Those, who have a yard, ...

In natural English, we usually do not write a comma in those who..., but in Ukrainian this comma is standard because хто мають подвір’я is a subordinate clause.

This is a very common learner question.

Grammatically, хто is singular in form, so you may sometimes see хто має. But when хто clearly refers to a plural group, Ukrainian very often uses plural agreement:

• Ті, хто мають подвір’я = Those who have a yard

Here, the speaker is thinking about multiple people, so мають sounds natural.

In practice:

• хто має = also possible in some contexts
• хто мають = very natural here because it refers back to Ті

So this is an example of meaning-based agreement, not just form-based agreement.

Подвір’я is in the accusative case, because it is the direct object of мають (have).

However, for many neuter nouns, the nominative and accusative forms are the same. That is why it looks unchanged:

• nominative: подвір’я
• accusative: подвір’я

So in мають подвір’я, the word is functioning as the object even though its form does not change.

Подвір’я usually means yard, courtyard, or the area around a house.

It is related to двір, but the two words are not always identical in feel:

• двір can mean yard, courtyard, and in some contexts even court
• подвір’я often specifically suggests the household yard area around a home

In this sentence, подвір’я fits well because the context is domestic: sweeping a path and drying shoes near the house.

Стежку is the accusative singular of стежка.

• nominative: стежка = path, little path, trail
• accusative: стежку

It is accusative because it is the direct object of підмітають (sweep):

• підмітають стежку = sweep the path

This is a normal feminine noun pattern:

• -а in nominative singular
• -у / -ю in accusative singular for many feminine nouns

Both are 3rd person plural present-tense forms:

• підмітають = they sweep / are sweeping
• сушать = they dry / are drying

Here they describe a habitual or general action because of іноді (sometimes):

• іноді підмітають... і сушать... = sometimes they sweep... and dry...

So English may translate them with simple present:

• sometimes sweep
• sometimes dry

These verbs are also imperfective, which fits repeated or ongoing actions.

Because Ukrainian, like English, often uses the present tense for habits and repeated actions.

• іноді підмітають = they sometimes sweep
• сушать = they dry

The adverb іноді already tells you this is not happening just once. So the present tense naturally expresses a repeated action.

If the speaker wanted a one-time completed action in the future, different forms or aspects would be used.

Because sneakers/trainers are normally treated as a pair, just like in English:

• кросівки = sneakers / trainers

Ukrainian usually uses the plural for this kind of item:

• мокрі кросівки = wet sneakers

Even if one person owns one pair, the noun is still plural.

The adjective мокрі agrees with кросівки in number, gender, and case.

Since кросівки is:

• plural
• inanimate
• accusative plural here

the adjective also takes the plural form:

• мокрі кросівки = wet sneakers

For inanimate plural nouns, accusative plural usually looks like nominative plural, so both words appear in their plural dictionary-style forms.

Біля дому means near the house or by the house.

The preposition біля requires the genitive case, so дім changes form:

• nominative: дім = house
• genitive: дому

So:

• біля дому = near the house

This is a very common pattern in Ukrainian:

• біля + genitive

Yes, Ukrainian word order is fairly flexible, though the original sentence is neutral and natural.

Original:

• Ті, хто мають подвір’я, іноді підмітають стежку і сушать мокрі кросівки біля дому.

You could move some parts for emphasis, for example:

• Іноді ті, хто мають подвір’я, підмітають стежку...
• Мокрі кросівки ті, хто мають подвір’я, іноді сушать біля дому.

But these alternatives change the emphasis and may sound less neutral.
For a learner, the original order is the best one to remember.

Yes, sometimes і can be replaced by та, which also means and.

So you might see:

• підмітають стежку та сушать мокрі кросівки

Both are correct.
In this sentence, і is the most straightforward and common choice.

It describes a general habit or typical behavior, not one specific event.

The clues are:

• іноді = sometimes
• present-tense imperfective verbs: підмітають, сушать

So the sense is:

• people who have a yard sometimes do these things as part of everyday life

If it were about one completed event, the wording would likely be different.
