Questions & Answers about Губа суха.
In Ukrainian, the verb to be is usually left out in the present tense in simple statements like this.
So:
- Губа суха = The lip is dry
This is completely normal Ukrainian.
You usually do not say є here.
Compare:
- Губа суха = The lip is dry
- Губа була суха = The lip was dry
- Губа буде суха = The lip will be dry
So the missing is is not really missing from a Ukrainian point of view; it is just normally omitted.
Because суха has to agree with губа in gender, number, and case.
Губа is:
- feminine
- singular
- nominative
So the adjective must also be feminine singular nominative:
- masculine: сухий
- feminine: суха
- neuter: сухе
- plural: сухі
That is why Губа суха is correct.
