"Grandpa is there."
Translation:Дід там.

I am a native speaker and in my family we use "Дідо", "Дідусь" & "Дідуньо" for "Grandfather".
We always said: "Дідо Є там." ("Grandfather IS there." The verb 'is/є' was always included - never omitted.)
(We never used "дід", as it refered to 'an old man' which could be construed as derogatory. We like to show respect to/for our elders. )
This has probably been mentioned on other questions, but i believe there are other ways of saying grandfather (дідо/дідусь) in ukrainian
It seems that both the question 'Where is grandfather' and the answer 'There is grandfather' are the same in Ukrainian. Perhaps the pronouciation makes the difference, thus hard to learn by DuoLingo. The 'same' in English, because the difference between this question and answer are just the W-here, and T-here....
I believe that the word "is", or "ye" in Ukrainian must be between the words grandpa and there.
I also learned "Dido" for grandfather as a child, and I wondered if "ye" could be there as well. Thank you to MadMaks and LubaLeong for this feedback.
Yes, Natalka, you CAN say "Дід є тут." = "Grandfather IS here." It is grammatically correct.
Me too i can't type in Ukrainian plz can you tell me how to do that?
