Person: person
Person is a feature of personal pronouns and of verbs. On verbs it is in fact an agreement feature that marks the person of the verb’s subject. Person marked on verbs makes it unnecessary to always add a personal pronoun as subject and thus subjects are sometimes dropped (Ukrainian is a pro-drop language).
0: zero person
Zero person is for impersonal statements.
Examples
- Проект Barracuda так і не було закінчено. “The Barracuda project was never completed.”
