Questions & Answers about Моя младшая сестра может читать о кошках сколько угодно и совсем не устаёт.
Why is it моя младшая сестра, not мой младший сестра?
Because сестра is a feminine singular noun, so the words that describe it must also be feminine singular.
- моя = my (feminine)
- младшая = younger (feminine)
- сестра = sister (feminine)
Compare:
- мой младший брат = my younger brother
- моя младшая сестра = my younger sister
Russian adjectives and possessive words must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.
Does младшая сестра mean younger sister or youngest sister?
Usually it means younger sister.
In family relationships, Russian often uses старший / младший to mean older / younger, not necessarily oldest / youngest.
So:
- старшая сестра = older sister
- младшая сестра = younger sister
If someone has more than two sisters, младшая сестра still usually just means a sister who is younger than the speaker, not automatically the youngest of all.
Why is there no word for she in the sentence?
