Це твій хід; підказка не потрібна.

In Ukrainian, the present-tense verb to be is often omitted.

So:

• Це твій хід literally looks like This your move/turn
• but it naturally means It’s your turn or This is your move

This is completely normal Ukrainian, not an incomplete sentence.

Here це functions like this / that / it is in an identifying sentence.

So Це твій хід is an identification pattern:

• це = this is / it is
• твій хід = your turn / your move

A very natural English translation is It’s your turn.

Твій is the informal singular possessive adjective meaning your.

It agrees with хід, which is:

• masculine
• singular
• nominative

So you get твій хід.

If you were speaking to more than one person, or to one person politely/formally, you would normally say ваш хід instead.

Хід has several related meanings, including move, turn, step, or course/progress depending on context.

In this sentence, the most natural meaning is:

• your move in a game
• or your turn

So твій хід is a very common phrase in game-like contexts.

A useful comparison:

• твій хід = your move / your turn in a game
• твоя черга = your turn more generally, such as in a queue or sequence

Because підказка is a feminine singular noun, and потрібна is the feminine singular form of needed / necessary.

Agreement matters here:

• masculine: потрібен
• feminine: потрібна
• neuter: потрібне
• plural: потрібні

So:

• підказка = feminine singular
• therefore потрібна = feminine singular too

That is why it is підказка не потрібна, not потрібен or потрібне.

Yes. It is an adjective used predicatively, meaning something like is needed or is necessary.

So:

• підказка = the subject
• не потрібна = is not needed

Literally, the structure is:

• Hint not needed

But in natural English you would usually say A hint isn’t needed or You don’t need a hint.

Because this is straightforward negation: not needed.

In Ukrainian, не with adjectives is often written separately when you are simply denying the quality:

• не потрібна = not needed

You may also encounter непотрібна, written together, which is closer to unnecessary as a single descriptive quality. In this sentence, the separate spelling is a very natural neutral choice.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Ukrainian has no articles, so there is no direct equivalent of a or the. That means:

• підказка can be a hint
• or the hint

Context tells you which one is meant.

In many situations, English would translate this most naturally as You don’t need a hint.

Yes.

You can simply say:

• Твій хід.

That is very natural and common.

Adding це makes the sentence a little more explicit or pointed:

• Це твій хід. = It’s your turn / This is your move

So both are possible, but Твій хід is often the more direct version.

Yes. Ukrainian word order is flexible, and changing it usually changes emphasis, not the core meaning.

For example:

• Підказка не потрібна = neutral
• Не потрібна підказка = stronger focus on not needed
• Твій хід = direct and natural
• Це твій хід = a bit more explicit

So the version you were given is natural, but not the only possible order.

The semicolon links two closely related clauses:

• Це твій хід
• підказка не потрібна

It shows a stronger break than a comma, but a closer connection than a full stop.

In English, it works similarly. The idea is:

• It’s your turn; no hint is needed.

A period would also be possible, but the semicolon gives the sentence a slightly more polished or deliberate feel.

A helpful pronunciation guide is:

• це — tse
• твій — roughly tviy
• хід — khid; х is like the ch in Scottish loch or German Bach
• підка́зка — stress on ка́
• потрі́бна — stress on рі́

So the sentence is approximately:

• Tse tviy khid; pid-KAZ-ka ne po-TREEB-na

The hardest sound for many English speakers is х in хід, because it is not the normal English h.
