The Ukrainian indefinite article

The indefinite article is what we call the words 'a' and 'an' in English. The English indefinite article 'a' does not exist in Ukrainian. Unlike English, a noun on its own can be considered indefinite without the need for a specific word to show this.

Examples

син
a son
птах
a bird
жінка
a woman
стілець
a chair
дитина
a child

Step 3 : The indefinite article in Ukrainian

The indefinite article is what we call the word a in English. The indefinite article is used with nouns in English (a book, a chair, a door etc.). To get started in Ukrainian, pick just 3 important nouns. We suggest you learn the nouns книга, стілець and двері (book, chair, door). Once you have learned these nouns, you can then learn how to use each noun with the indefinite article. This is easy in Ukrainian, because in Ukrainian, there is no indefinite article. So the word книга can mean book or a book, the word стілець can mean chair or a chair and the word двері can mean door or a door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the indefinite article in Ukrainian including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the indefinite article with the Ukrainian nouns книга, стілець and двері, you're ready to move on to Step 4 (the definite article in Ukrainian).
