Посада має обов’язки і зарплату.

Посада most often means position, post, or job title/role rather than the general idea of work.

So in this sentence, посада is not the physical workplace and not the act of working. It means something like:

• a position
• a role
• a post
• a job position

That is why the sentence talks about what the position has: duties and salary.

Має is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb мати, which means to have.

So:

• я маю = I have
• ти маєш = you have
• він / вона / воно має = he / she / it has
• посада має = the position has

In this sentence, посада is singular, so має is the correct form.

Because it is the direct object of має, so it goes into the accusative case.

The dictionary form is:

• зарплата = salary

But after a verb like мати when it is the thing being had, you use the accusative:

• має зарплату = has a salary

For many feminine nouns ending in -а, the accusative singular changes to -у:

• книга → книгу
• робота → роботу
• зарплата → зарплату

So зарплату is exactly what you should expect here.

Good question. Обов’язки is also a direct object, but it is a plural inanimate noun, and for many inanimate plural nouns, the accusative looks the same as the nominative.

Dictionary form:

• обов’язки = duties

In this sentence:

• має обов’язки = has duties

So the form stays обов’язки.

Compare the singular:

• обов’язок = duty
• має обов’язок = has a duty

The important point is that the form does not always visibly change, even though grammatically it is in the accusative.

Because Ukrainian does not have articles like English.

So посада can mean:

• a position
• the position

And зарплату can mean:

• a salary
• the salary

Which one is meant depends on context.

That is very normal in Ukrainian. Learners often want to insert something like English a/the, but Ukrainian simply does not do that.

І means and.

In this sentence:

• обов’язки і зарплату = duties and salary

Ukrainian also has й, which can also mean and. Speakers often choose between і and й partly for smoother pronunciation.

So both of these can exist in Ukrainian:

• і
• й

In your sentence, і is perfectly normal.

Because that is how these ideas are usually expressed.

• обов’язки = duties, responsibilities
  This is commonly plural, because a position usually has several duties.
• зарплата = salary
  This is usually singular, because it is treated as one overall payment amount.

English works similarly:

• a job has duties
• a job has a salary

So this part of the sentence is quite natural.

The apostrophe in обов’язки is an important spelling feature in Ukrainian. It shows that the consonant before я, ю, є, ї is not softened and that the y-like glide is pronounced clearly.

So в’я is not pronounced like a softened вя. The apostrophe keeps the sounds more separate.

In обов’язки, the relevant part is:

• в’я

This is one of those details that English speakers often overlook at first, but it matters in correct spelling and pronunciation.

A rough pronunciation guide for the word is something like:

• obov-yaz-ky

Not perfect, but it helps show that little y sound.

The word order here is the neutral, straightforward one:

• Посада має обов’язки і зарплату.
• Subject + verb + objects

This is the most natural order for a simple statement.

Ukrainian word order is more flexible than English, so other orders are possible for emphasis, but they may sound more marked or context-dependent.

For example, moving words around might emphasize what the position has rather than what the position is. But if you are learning the basic pattern, the given order is the best one to use.

Sometimes Ukrainian expresses possession with a structure like у X є Y:

• У посади є обов’язки і зарплата.

That literally feels more like:

• The position has duties and a salary
• or even There are duties and a salary for the position

But your sentence uses має, which is also correct and direct:

• Посада має обов’язки і зарплату.

For learners, it is useful to know that Ukrainian can express possession in more than one way. In this sentence, має is simple and clear.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• Posada maye obov-yazky i zarplatu

Very approximate stress:

• посАда
• мАє
• обов’Язки
• і
• зарплАту

A few tips:

• є in має sounds roughly like ye
• the apostrophe in обов’язки helps produce v-yа
• г is not the hard English g sound; Ukrainian г is softer, though there is no г in this sentence
• Ukrainian vowels are usually pronounced clearly, without reducing them as much as in English

It is understandable and grammatically correct. It sounds like a general statement about what a position includes.

In real life, Ukrainian speakers might also say things such as:

• У цієї посади є свої обов’язки і зарплата.
• Кожна посада має свої обов’язки і зарплату.

Adding свої can make it sound a bit more natural in some contexts:

• свої обов’язки = its own duties

But the sentence you have is absolutely fine as a model for learning:

• subject: посада
• verb: має
• objects: обов’язки і зарплату

It is a good example of basic Ukrainian sentence structure.
