Questions & Answers about Качество еды хорошее.
What does Качество mean in English?
Качество translates to quality. In this sentence, it refers to the standard or condition of the food.
Why is еды in the genitive case?
Еды is in the genitive case because it shows possession or association. In Russian, when one noun describes a characteristic of another (as in “quality of food”), the noun being described is often in the genitive case. Here, it means of food.
How does the adjective хорошее agree with the noun качество?
The adjective хорошее is in the neuter singular form, which matches the noun качество (a neuter singular noun in the nominative case). This agreement in gender, number, and case is a basic rule in Russian grammar.
Why is there no verb equivalent to “is” in the sentence?
In Russian, the present tense of the verb быть (“to be”) is usually omitted. So instead of saying “Качество еды есть хорошее,” the sentence simply reads as Качество еды хорошее, which is complete and natural in Russian.
