Why does this use Києв rather than Київ? I thought Київ was the name of the city in Ukrainian.

    "Києві" is the locative case of "Київ."

    Ahh, дякую. That seems like a strange case formation, but okay.

        How come тепла ends with an a? I would have expected теплий to agree with осінь.

          It does agree as "осінь" is feminine

              Зима, весна, осінь — feminine. Літо — neuter.
