"That is not my cat!" should also be accepted.

Please let me know how I can help with the English side. There are a few responses that do not sound very idiomatic to a native English speaker.

Please report such responses to course authors.

Yeah, some of the translations are kinda weird

[gsttassad]

I apologize if the answer has been given in some other place but how do we determine genders in Ukrainian? Is it a matter of memorization like other languages or is it straight forward depending on the gender of the animal?

I wonder because for other courses the gender was indicated in the meaning box you get when you go over the word with the mouse.

[RainbowVomit911]

There are some rules which you can find if you scroll down there a bit.

There are also some exceptions that you must memorize.

[gsttassad]

I overlooked that part, thank you.

[RainbowVomit911]

Some nouns could also be feminine or masculine depending on gender of the subject.

'He is an orphan' — 'Він сирота'. In this case 'сирота' is masculine.

'She is an orphan' — 'Вона сирота'. In this case 'сирота is feminine.

What is the different between мiй and моя?

[RainbowVomit911]

Мій is for masculine nouns, моя is for feminine nouns.
Це не моя кішка - This is not my cat (she-cat).
Це не мій кіт - This is not my cat (tomcat).

[ic3mehg]

Of course it is not your cat. It is my cat.

[ColinTeft]

This guy really hates cats

[Dasintro]

just don't want to take unnecessary resposibility

[Augustine19726]

Is cat masculine or feminine ?

[spicy_wolf]

Kit/Кіт - M,
Kishka/Кішка - F. Both can be also used for both genders, but some people would object:)
Koshenia/Кошеня (kitten) - neutral

[alinaalinaalina]

Masculine I think

[kaywelshans]

Моя - feminine
Мій - masculine

[Mikluk]

What exactly is the pronuciation of the character "Ц"?

[RainbowVomit911]

Like 'zz' in 'pizza' but not that long.

[nunFalco]

Something like "tse"

[suzumane_bokuto]
