Ukrainian Plural
Learning the Ukrainian Plural is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you practice the subject, the closer you get to mastering the Ukrainian language. But first we need to know what the role of Plural is in the structure of the grammar in Ukrainian.
Ukrainian Plurals are grammatical numbers, typically referring to more than one of the referent in the real world. In the English language, singular and plural are the only grammatical numbers. Here are some examples:
| English Plural | Ukrainian Plural |
| Plural | Mnozhina - Множина |
| my book | moja kniga - моя книга |
| my books | moї knigi - мої книги |
| our daughter | nasha donjka - наша донька |
| our daughters | nashih donjok - наших доньок |
| I'm cold | Menі holodno - Мені холодно |
| we're cold | Nam holodno - Нам холодно |
| his chickens | jogo kuri - його кури |
| their chicken | їh kuri - їх кури |
As you can see from the example above, the structure of the Plural in Ukrainian has a logical pattern. Locate the Plural above and see how it works with the rest of the sentence in Ukrainian.
