Questions & Answers about Раунд короткий.

Why is there no word for is in Раунд короткий?

In Ukrainian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense.

So:

• Раунд короткий = The round is short
• literally: Round short

This is completely normal Ukrainian sentence structure.
If you are talking about the present, you usually do not say a separate word for is / am / are.

Why is it короткий and not some other form like коротка or коротке?

Because раунд is a masculine singular noun, and the adjective has to match it.

In Ukrainian, adjectives agree with the noun in:

• gender
• number
• case

Here:

• раунд = masculine, singular, nominative
• so the adjective must also be masculine, singular, nominative
• that gives короткий

Compare:

• короткий раунд — a short round
• коротка пауза — a short pause
• коротке відео — a short video

So the -ий ending here shows the masculine singular form.
