платити
To give money for goods or services
платити 30秒で
- Core verb for 'to pay' in Ukrainian.
- Imperfective aspect; perfective is 'заплатити'.
- Requires 'за' + Accusative for objects.
- First person singular mutation: 'я плачу'.
The Ukrainian verb платити is a fundamental pillar of daily interaction, primarily functioning as the equivalent of the English verb 'to pay'. At its core, it describes the act of transferring value—usually money—in exchange for goods, services, or the fulfillment of an obligation. However, its usage extends far beyond simple retail transactions. In the Ukrainian language, платити carries a weight of responsibility and exchange that permeates social, economic, and even moral contexts.
- Financial Transactions
- This is the most common use. Whether you are at a supermarket, a restaurant, or paying rent, this is the verb you need. It is often used with the preposition за (for) followed by the accusative case.
Скільки ви хочете платити за оренду квартири?
Understanding the nuance of this verb requires looking at its aspectual pairs. Платити is imperfective, meaning it focuses on the process of paying, the habit of paying, or the general action. If you want to emphasize the completion of a payment—the 'one-off' act of having paid—you would use the perfective counterpart, заплатити. This distinction is crucial for learners; for instance, 'я плачу податки' (I pay taxes) implies a regular, ongoing duty, whereas 'я заплатив за вечерю' (I paid for dinner) marks a completed event.
- Abstract and Figurative Use
- Just like in English, one can 'pay' with their time, health, or even life. In Ukrainian, this verb is used to express the consequences of actions. You might hear 'платити за помилки' (to pay for mistakes).
Він змушений платити за свою неуважність.
In a professional setting, the word is indispensable. It appears in contracts, salary discussions, and utility bills. When discussing employment, you might talk about how a company 'платить добру зарплату' (pays a good salary). In the digital age, it also applies to online subscriptions and contactless payments. The versatility of платити makes it one of the first 50 verbs a student of Ukrainian should master, as it unlocks the ability to navigate any marketplace or service-based environment.
Using платити correctly involves mastering its conjugation and the prepositions that follow it. As a Class II verb (in some classifications) or an -ити verb, it undergoes a consonant mutation in the first person singular: the 'т' changes to 'ч'. This is a common stumbling block for beginners. Instead of 'плати-ю', it becomes 'я плачу'. Note that the stress remains on the second syllable: плати́ти, плачу́, пла́тиш.
- The Conjugation Pattern
- Я плачу (I pay), ти платиш (you pay), він/вона платить (he/she pays), ми платимо (we pay), ви платите (you plural pay), вони платять (they pay).
Ми завжди платимо за рахунками вчасно.
When you want to specify how you are paying, you use the instrumental case without a preposition for 'card' or 'cash'. For example, 'платити карткою' (to pay by card) or 'платити готівкою' (to pay with cash). This is a very efficient way to communicate in shops. If you are paying for something specific, the formula is: платити + за + Accusative Case. For instance, 'платити за навчання' (to pay for tuition).
- Common Contexts
- 1. Restaurants: 'Хто буде платити?' (Who will pay?) 2. Work: 'Компанія платить за переїзд' (The company pays for the relocation). 3. Services: 'Ви повинні платити за комунальні послуги' (You must pay for utilities).
Ви можете платити через мобільний додаток.
In more complex sentences, платити can be used with adverbs to describe the quality or frequency of payment. 'Щедро платити' (to pay generously), 'мало платити' (to pay little), 'регулярно платити' (to pay regularly). This allows for a high degree of descriptive precision. When discussing debts, you might use 'платити борг' (to pay a debt), though 'виплачувати' or 'повертати' are also common synonyms depending on whether the payment is in installments or a full return.
In the bustling streets of Kyiv, Lviv, or Odesa, платити is a word that echoes in every corner of commerce. You will hear it most frequently in the imperative form or in questions at checkout counters. Cashiers will often ask, 'Як будете платити?' (How will you be paying?), expecting a response of 'карткою' (by card) or 'готівкою' (in cash). This simple exchange is the heartbeat of daily life.
- Public Transport
- In a 'marshrutka' (private minibus), you might hear passengers saying, 'Передайте, будь ласка, за одного' while passing money to the driver. While they don't always say 'платити' explicitly, the concept is central, and you might hear 'За проїзд платимо!' (Paying for the ride!) shouted by a driver.
Тут можна платити безконтактно?
In the business world, платити appears in every negotiation. During job interviews, candidates ask about the 'заробітна плата' (salary) and how the company 'платить бонуси'. News broadcasts frequently mention the government 'платити пенсії' (paying pensions) or 'платити за зовнішніми боргами' (paying external debts). It is a word that bridges the gap between the individual's wallet and the national economy.
- Online and Tech
- With the rise of apps like Diia and Monobank, the phrase 'платити в один клік' (pay in one click) has become ubiquitous in digital advertising and user interfaces.
Ви забули платити за підписку на Netflix.
Pop culture also utilizes the word. Songs might mention 'платити за любов' (paying for love) in a metaphorical sense, or films might depict dramatic scenes where a character says, 'Ти за це заплатиш!' (You will pay for this!), using the perfective form to promise retribution. Whether in the mundane act of buying bread or the high drama of a cinematic revenge plot, платити is everywhere.
Learning платити comes with a few linguistic traps that can trip up even advanced learners. The most notorious is the stress-dependent meaning change between 'плачу' (I pay) and 'плачу' (I cry). This is a classic example of how Ukrainian phonology carries semantic weight. If you say 'Я пла́чу' (stress on 'а'), you are telling someone you are weeping. If you say 'Я плачу́' (stress on 'у'), you are opening your wallet.
- Preposition Errors
- English speakers often try to translate 'pay the bill' directly as 'платити рахунок'. While understandable, it is more correct to say 'платити за рахунком' or simply 'оплачувати рахунок'. The use of 'за' is vital when referring to the object or service being purchased.
Не кажи: 'Я плачу каву'. Кажи: 'Я плачу за каву'.
Another common error is confusing платити with its prefixed versions like оплачувати or виплачувати. While they all relate to paying, they are not always interchangeable. Оплачувати is often used for bills or formal services without the 'за' preposition. Виплачувати is specifically for paying out sums like salaries or insurance claims over time. Using the simple платити in these contexts isn't 'wrong', but it sounds less professional.
- Case Confusion
- Learners sometimes use the accusative for the person being paid. It must be the dative. You pay *to* someone. 'Я плачу офіціантові' (I pay the waiter - dative), not 'Я плачу офіціанта'.
Вона платить майстрові за роботу.
Finally, watch out for the aspect. Using платити when you should use заплатити can make you sound like you are still in the process of paying when you actually want to say you've finished. If the waiter asks if you've paid, and you say 'я плачу', he might wait for you to pull out your card, even if you already did it five minutes ago!
While платити is the general-purpose verb for paying, Ukrainian offers a rich palette of alternatives that provide more specific meaning depending on the context. Choosing the right word can elevate your fluency from 'functional' to 'natural'.
- Оплачувати vs. Платити
- Оплачувати is more formal and usually doesn't require the preposition 'за'. You 'оплачуєте проїзд' (pay for the fare) or 'оплачуєте рахунок' (pay the bill). It sounds more like 'to settle a payment'.
- Сплачувати
- This is the go-to verb for taxes, fines, or official fees. 'Сплачувати податки' (to pay taxes) is the standard bureaucratic term.
Вам потрібно сплатити штраф протягом десяти днів.
For returning money that was borrowed, use повертати (to return) or віддавати (to give back). If you are paying someone back for a favor or an injury, the phrase віддячувати (to thank/repay with gratitude) or мститися (to take revenge - paying back in a negative sense) might be more appropriate.
- Розплачуватися
- This verb often carries a sense of 'settling up' or 'paying the price' for something, often used in moral or metaphorical contexts. 'Він розплатився за свої гріхи' (He paid for his sins).
Давайте розплатимося і підемо.
In slang or very informal speech, you might encounter 'відстьогувати' (to unbuckle/shell out money) or 'башляти' (to pay/cough up), though these should be used with extreme caution as they can sound quite crude or imply bribery/unwilling payment. For a learner, sticking to платити and оплачувати is the safest and most effective route.
How Formal Is It?
"Просимо вас платити за рахунком протягом трьох банківських днів."
"Я завжди плачу за комунальні послуги через інтернет."
"Давай я сьогодні плачу, а ти наступного разу."
"Ми платимо гроші в магазині, щоб купити іграшки."
"Він не хоче башляти за ремонт."
豆知識
The root of this word is the same as the word for 'cloth' (плаття - dress). In ancient times, linen was so valuable it was used as money!
発音ガイド
- Stressing the first syllable (пла́тити) makes it sound like 'crying' (though 'crying' is 'плакати').
- Mispronouncing 'я плачу' as 'я пла́чу' (I cry) instead of 'я плачу́' (I pay).
- Failing to soften the 'т' in the infinitive.
- Pronouncing 'л' too softly like in French.
- Confusing the 'ч' in 'плачу' with 'ц'.
難易度
Very easy to recognize in text.
The 'т' to 'ч' mutation and stress are tricky.
High risk of confusing 'pay' with 'cry' if stress is wrong.
Easy to hear, but watch for prefixes.

よくある質問
10 問It depends on the stress! 'Я плачу́' (stress on U) means 'I pay'. 'Я пла́чу' (stress on A) means 'I cry'. This is a very common mistake for learners.
Yes, if you are naming the object you are buying. 'Я плачу за каву'. If you only mention the method, you don't: 'Я плачу карткою'.
'Платити' is general and usually uses 'за'. 'Оплачувати' is more formal and takes a direct object: 'оплачувати рахунок' (pay the bill) vs 'платити за рахунком'.
You use the instrumental case: 'платити карткою'. No preposition is needed.
It is imperfective. The perfective version is 'заплатити'.
Yes, but use the dative case. 'Я плачу офіціантові' (I pay the waiter).
Я платив (m), я платила (f), ми платили (pl).
It means 'to pay in cash'.
Yes, although 'сплачувати' is more common in official documents.
