Questions & Answers about Выкройка нужна, чтобы кроить ткань.
Выкройка means a pattern in the sewing/clothing sense: a paper template or model used to cut fabric into the right shapes.
It does not mean just any pattern or design. For a visual pattern on fabric, Russian would use other words, such as узор or рисунок.
Because выкройка is a feminine singular noun, and нужна agrees with it.
The short-form adjective changes by gender and number:
- нужен — masculine
- нужна — feminine
- нужно — neuter
- нужны — plural
So:
- Выкройка нужна. — A pattern is needed.
- Нож нужен. — A knife is needed.
- Платье нужно. — A dress is needed.
- Ножницы нужны. — Scissors are needed.
