Questions & Answers about Скажіть ветеринару про симптом перед щепленням.
Why is Скажіть used here instead of скажи?
Скажіть is the imperative form meaning tell / say.
It can be used:
- to one person politely (formal you),
- or to more than one person.
By contrast, скажи is the informal singular command, used with one person you address casually.
So:
- Скажіть ветеринару... = Tell the veterinarian... (polite or plural)
- Скажи ветеринару... = the same idea, but informal singular
Also, скажіть comes from the perfective verb сказати, which fits a one-time completed action: tell the vet.
What case is ветеринару, and why does it end in -у?
