Questions & Answers about Колода на столі.

Why is there no word for is in Колода на столі?

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

So where English says:

• The deck is on the table

Ukrainian normally just says:

• Колода на столі

This is completely natural and standard.
You can sometimes see є for is/there is, but in a simple sentence like this, leaving it out is the normal choice.

Why is it столі and not стіл?

Because after на when it means on in the sense of location, the noun usually goes into the locative case.

So:

• стіл = table dictionary form, nominative
• на столі = on the table, locative

This is a very common pattern:

• на столі = on the table
• на вулиці = on the street / outside
• на роботі = at work

So столі is not a different word; it is a different case form of стіл.
