Shopping, quantities and absence
Use a small set of genitive phrases instead of guessing endings.
Without and absence
без = without; немає = there is no / there are no. These patterns use genitive: без цукру (without sugar); немає хліба (there is no bread). Do not generalize this to every negative sentence.
Amounts and possession
Learn вода → води, кава → кави, молоко → молока, хліб → хліба, цукор → цукру. склянка води = a glass of water; чашка кави = a cup of coffee. У мене є хліб = I have bread; У мене немає хліба = I have no bread.
Numbers and prices
один, два, три, чотири, п'ять = one to five; гривня is the currency unit. Learn one price set: одна гривня, дві гривні, п'ять гривень. Noun forms after numbers need their own patterns.
Скільки коштує хліб? = How much does the bread cost?
