"Це будинок номер тринадцять."

Translation: This is building number thirteen.

Why is the translation of this sentence "This is a building number thirteen"? Unless there is more than one" building thirteen", there should be no need for an article - definite or indefinite.

Agreed. It did not appear that way in my lesson, so perhaps it's already been reported and fixed.

Imho, "This is a house number thirteen" should be an acceptable answer.

[zondu]

But without "a" - "This is house number thirteen." However, wouldn't дім be the more correct word for house? Usually, wouldn't будинок be used for bigger buildings, such as apartments or offices, not a single family house?

[Me_Dik]

чому тут не потрібно артиклю "а" в перекладі на англійську? Адже будинок ..він якийсь один - невизначений артикль мав би пасувати.

Коли хотів поскаржитись на відсутність артиклю "a" перед словом building, та побачив розумних людей в коментарях і вирішив, що треба пройти ще й курси з англійської мови окремо...
