"I have one house and one cat."

Translation: У мене є один дім та один кіт.

[RobertLech3]

Why can't I say "я маю" instead of "у мене"?

[sagitta145]

You can, this is just not a "standard" answer which was not "expected" from people who don't know Ukrainian and wasn't accounted for yet :) Please report and thank you for discovering mistakes.

[sagitta145]

Also in that case you'll need to conjugate (also that's why this version is not taught here right away), do you know how to or want to try? :)

[Lolita512004]

"Я маю" = "У мене є". "Я маю" - western dialect, "У мене є" - eastern dialect

[MeIsAwesome47]

So what's the trick with all the different versions of one? I can't figure it out.

[ScottWilli909480]

So one is pretty straight forward in English but Ukrainian has three versions I believe, so here they are...

Один - Neutral
Одна - Female
Одне - Male

For other words a plural version exists

[MeIsAwesome47]

Thanks!

Close, it's actually Один - Masculine, Одна - Feminine, Одне - Neuter

[KSENIA370949]

Just like french has same multiple meanings depending on what it follows

[ScottWilli909480]

Kit isn't female so одна doesn't work?

[kurhanczyk]

yes, you have to use один. female cat is кішка

[kurhanczyk]

мені здається "у мене Є один дім і один кіт" було б значно краще.
бо не знаю як з сайта, але з додатка тільки такий варіант дається.

[sagitta145]

This is the translation that I see. What is the alternative one? Or do you mean "i" instead of "та"?

[Ammon254690]

What is the difference between і and та? Why is it in this scenario та must be used? I understand that you use а as a contrastive and, but what is the function of та?

[ViktoriiaG10]

I think there is not difference

[Eric_Piphany]

Accepts also Я маю один дім і одного кота

[Slippyboy]

What does the є signify?

[Brian243212]

Why or how does the house become masculine when it has no gender? .... Why isn't feminine? Seems like it would be neuter....
