Is the pronoun воно used for objects? And what about animals, do you use masculine/feminine or neutral?
Гарного тижня!
Добрий день, Бенджаміне! Все правильно 🙂
Воно is used to substitute all the neuter nouns (usually objects, but can be people or animals too, like дитя – baby, щеня – puppy).
The gender of animals, like other nouns, depend on the formal characteristics – endings. So, they can be different genders:
вовк – wolf – masculine
мавпа – monkey – feminine
котеня – kitten – neuter
I found a good full article explaining the genders here – http://ukrainiangrammar.com/article/2011-01-22/the-noun-gender.html
Тобі теж гарного тижня!
