"Яка наступна зупинка?"

Translation: What is the next stop?

[Glavanec]

Does the Ukrainian sentence really mean "What is the next stop"? I think a translation of the sort "Is this the next stop?" sounds better in English...

No, "Is this the next stop?" would be "Це наступна зупинка?". Це = this, "is" is skipped. The word "яка" is a question word for adjectives. Basically it's saying "What (stop) (is) the next stop?".

Shouldn't Duolingo accept "What stop is next"? I've reported it.

[sagitta145]

That would be Яка зупинка наступна?

Or wait. One doesn't have to say "What stop is the next one?". What stop is next is OK?

[Carl_Ramrod]

If you're asking about an English sentence, it's perfectly fine to say "What stop is next?" Of course, "What stop is the next one?" is fine too--it just sounds a little more formal.

OK I just spent too much time trying to think if there's a big enough difference between "Яка наступна зупинка?" and "Яка зупинка наступна?", and I didn't get anywhere, so I'll add both versions in both languages, so also "What stop is next?" :D Thanks!
