About Ukrainian verbs in general
Ukrainian verbs have only three tenses: Present, Past and Future. Here is an example with the verb їсти – to eat in all tenses:
їсти - infinitive
Я їм – I eat/I am eating
Я їв or Я їла – I ate (masculine and feminine)
Я буду їсти – I will eat/I will be eating
Ukrainian verbs have different grammatical categories in different tenses.
In Present and Future Tenses Ukrainian verbs conjugate (change by person), but do not have gender. So looking at a verb in the Present or Future Tense you will not be able to tell whether a male or female person is/was performing the action. Here is an example with the verb їсти – to eat in Present and Future Tenses:
Present Tense | Future Tense |
Я їм. - I eat/am eating. | Я буду істи. - I will eat/will be eating. |
Ти їси. - You eat/are eating. | Ти будеш істи. - You will eat/will be eating. |
Він/Вона їсть. - He/She eats/is eating. | Він/Вона буде істи. - He/She will eat/will be eating. |
Ми їмо. - We eat/are eating. | Ми будемо істи. - We will eat/will be eating. |
Ви їсте. - You eat/are eating. | Ви будете істи. - You will eat/will be eating. |
Вони їдять. - They eat/are eating. | Вони будуть істи. - They will eat/will be eating. |
In Past tense Ukrainian verbs have gender and number endings. Here is an example with the verb їсти – to eat in Past Tense:
Masculine | Feminine | Neuter | Plural |
Він їв. – He ate. | Вона їла. – She ate. | Воно їло.- It ate. | Вони їли. - They ate. |
All Ukrainian verbs with no exceptions have the same endings in Past Tense.

About infinitive
Infinitive is the base form of a verb which all other forms come from. It is the form which verbs go by in a dictionary. For example: (to) eat, (to) like, (to) drink.
Ukrainian infinitives have ending –ти: їсти, любити, пити. Infinitive has many uses in a language. For example in phrases like “Я люблю їсти” – I like to eat, “Я хочу їсти” - I want to eat, “Я буду їсти” - I will eat, the second verb is used in infinitive form.
