Adjective agreement is really important in Russian. It helps us share our ideas clearly, especially when we talk about gender, number, and case. Let's take a closer look at the adjectives "красивый," "красивая," and "красивое" to see how they work.

Gender Agreement

• красивый (masculine): This is used for masculine nouns.

  • Example: красивый парень (handsome guy)

• красивая (feminine): This is used for feminine nouns.

  • Example: красивая девушка (beautiful girl)

• красивое (neuter): This is used for neuter nouns.

  • Example: красивое окно (beautiful window)

Number Agreement

When we're talking about more than one thing (plural nouns), the adjective changes to match.

• красивые (plural):
  • Example: красивые дома (beautiful houses)

Case Agreement

Adjectives also need to match the case of the nouns. Here are some examples using the instrumental case:

• я вижу красивым парнем (I see a handsome guy) - masculine
• я вижу красивой девушкой (I see a beautiful girl) - feminine

By understanding and using these rules, you will get better at Russian grammar!
