чоловіка

In a sentence

• Я зустріла чоловіка в кафе.

  I met a man in the café.

  In this sentence, "чоловіка" is the genitive form of "чоловік" (man, husband) used after the verb "зустріла" (met) to indicate the direct object of the action.

• Це подарунок для мого чоловіка.

  This is a gift for my husband.

  Here, "чоловіка" is again in the genitive case as "чоловік" (husband) is the recipient of the preposition "для" (for).

• Жінка поговорила з чоловіка про дітей.

  The woman talked with the husband about the children.

  In this example, "чоловіка" is used in the genitive case of "чоловік" (husband) to complete the phrase "з чоловіка" (with the husband).
