"Віктора немає."

Translation: Viktor is not here.

[DavidHowar450281]

Why does the correct answer have "here".? "Віктора немає" mentions nothing about Viktor's location. It literally means "There is no Viktor". They may have a Igor there and not a Viktor.

[Eclectic1234]

I think "here" is in the answer because it makes sense in English. "There is no Victor" would have a completely different meaning.

Why this word order? Why not «Немає Віктора»?

[deniko]

Both word orders are fine, depending on what you want to emphasize.

Кого сьогодні немає? Немає Віктора.

Де Віктор? Віктора немає.

[Anya_Dubinkina]

But it isn't a big deal. Right?)

[sagitta145]

Yes, this is correct. Немає Віктора is accepted.

[Kraig629574]

No тут in your question, so here is not implied.

[sagitta145]

Some location is implied. The translations "is not here" or "is not there" are both accepted (or if not, they should be).

Could one also say
Віктора не тут....?

[SavageUkr]

Віктор не (є) тут. Віктор is the subject in the sentence, which requires a nominative case.
Віктора не має (тут). This is a so-called subjectless (безособове) sentence, which puts Віктора in a genitive case.

[wyqtor]

I think you would say that as 'Віктор не тут'
