Questions & Answers about Garderoba jest duża.

Why is it duża and not duży?

Because garderoba is a feminine singular noun, and Polish adjectives must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.

So the adjective big changes like this in the singular:

• duży = masculine
• duża = feminine
• duże = neuter

Since garderoba is feminine, the correct form is duża.

What does jest mean here?

Jest is the 3rd person singular present form of być, which means to be.

So:

• garderoba = wardrobe / closet / dressing room
• jest = is
• duża = big

In this sentence, jest works just like English is.
