Usage notes

  • Like in the East Slavic languages, usually replaced in the present tense with the pronoun.
  • The present tense conjugated forms are instead generally used in the past tense, with the conjugated verb in the past following or followed by the corresponding present tense conjugation of буц (buc), similar to Slovak.
  • In colloquial speech and writing, commonly goes after the object or subject complement in the clause, e.g. (вон) школяр є ((von) školjar je) instead of вон школяр (von školjar).
