Learn Russian: Справа вокзал. - On the right is the station.

In Russian, the verb "to be" is almost always left out in the present tense. So, instead of saying "On the right IS the station", you just say "On the right the station" (Справа вокзал).

I learned that право means "right". Why is it справа here?

While право relates to the concept of "right", справа is the specific word used to say "on the right" when describing where something is located. It is best to memorize справа as a set vocabulary word, just like its opposite слева (on the left).

Is there a difference between saying Справа вокзал and Вокзал справа?

Yes! Russian uses word order to show the main point of the sentence by putting the new or most important information at the very end. Справа вокзал answers "What is on the right?" (On the right is THE STATION). Вокзал справа answers "Where is the station?" (The station is ON THE RIGHT).

Can I use вокзал for a bus or subway station too?

No, вокзал specifically refers to a railway station, usually a large or main one in a city. A bus station is an автовокзал (auto-station), and a subway station is a станция метро.
