Cultural Tip
In French, ‘jeans’ is masculine (le jean) and stays the same in the plural (les jeans). Remember that adjectives must agree with the noun’s gender and number, so ‘confortable’ becomes ‘confortables’ here. When talking about clothing, French speakers often use ‘être confortable’ rather than ‘être agréable’, especially for everyday items like jeans.
