Questions & Answers about Эта фирма выпускает качественные джинсы.
What is the case and number of the noun джинсы?
Джинсы is in the plural accusative. However, since it is an inanimate noun, its accusative plural form coincides with the nominative plural (джинсы).
Why is джинсы always used in the plural, not the singular?
Because джинсы is a plurale tantum noun in Russian: it only exists in the plural to mean “a pair of jeans.” There is no singular form.
How does the adjective качественные agree with джинсы?
Adjectives must match the noun they modify in gender, number, and case. Here джинсы is plural, accusative (same form as nominative for inanimates), so качественные is in the nominative/accusative plural form as well.
What does выпускает mean, and what part of speech is it?
Выпускает is a verb meaning “produces,” “manufactures,” or “releases.” It’s the 3rd person singular, present tense form of the imperfective verb выпускать.
What is the aspect of выпускает, and how would you say “will produce” or “produced (once)”?
