Questions & Answers about Вакансія нова.

Why is there no word for is in Вакансія нова?

In Ukrainian, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense in simple sentences like this.

So:

• Вакансія нова. = The vacancy is new.

This is completely normal and natural in Ukrainian.

English requires is, but Ukrainian usually does not:

• Він студент. = He is a student.
• Кава гаряча. = The coffee is hot.

So the missing is is not really missing — Ukrainian just does not normally say it here.

Why is нова after вакансія instead of before it?

Because this sentence is using нова as a predicate adjective: The vacancy is new.

Compare:

• нова вакансія = a new vacancy / a new job opening
  Here, нова directly describes the noun.

• Вакансія нова = The vacancy is new
  Here, нова is the part that says something about the subject.

So the word order helps show the difference between:

• noun phrase: нова вакансія
• full sentence: Вакансія нова
