In Russian, adjectives are words that describe nouns.

When using adjectives, they need to match the nouns they describe. This means they must agree in gender (like male or female) and in number (singular or plural).

Let’s take a look at the adjective "удобный," which means "comfortable," and see how it works with the noun "стулья," which means "chairs." Here’s an easy guide to help you:

1. Identifying Gender:

   • The word "стулья" is plural. The singular version is "стул," which is masculine.
   • Knowing if a noun is masculine, feminine, or neuter helps you choose the right form of the adjective.

2. Adjective Forms:

   • For masculine singular: удобный (for example, "удобный стул" - comfortable chair)
   • For feminine singular: удобная (for example, "удобная стулка" - comfortable small chair)
   • For neuter singular: удобное (for example, "удобное кресло" - comfortable armchair)
   • For plural: удобные (for example, "удобные стулья" - comfortable chairs)

3. Examples:

   • In singular: "Этот удобный стул." (This is a comfortable chair.)
   • In plural: "Эти удобные стулья." (These are comfortable chairs.)

4. Comparative and Superlative Forms:

   • To compare two things, use "более удобный" (more comfortable).
     • Example: "Этот стул более удобный." (This chair is more comfortable.)
   • To say the best, use "самый удобный" (the most comfortable).
     • Example: "Это самый удобный стул." (This is the most comfortable chair.)

By practicing these forms, you'll get better at describing things in Russian!
