Questions & Answers about Ветеринар тут.
In Ukrainian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense.
So:
- Ветеринар тут. = The veterinarian is here.
- literally: Veterinarian here.
This is completely normal Ukrainian grammar, not an incomplete sentence.
If you included є (is / there is), it would usually sound different in meaning or emphasis, and in this sentence it is normally omitted.
Both words are in their basic, dictionary forms:
- ветеринар — nominative singular
- тут — an adverb, so it does not change for case
Because ветеринар is the subject of the sentence, the nominative case is what you expect.
Grammatically, ветеринар is a masculine noun. It can refer to:
- a male veterinarian, or
- a veterinarian in a general sense, if the person’s gender is not being emphasized
If you specifically want to refer to a female veterinarian, you may also hear ветеринарка, though usage can vary by speaker and situation.
So in this sentence, ветеринар does not necessarily tell you the person is male; it may just be the standard job title.
