Cultural Tip
In German, adjectives used after ‘sein’ (to be) are not declined, unlike when they directly modify a noun. Also, ‘Jeans’ is treated as a plural noun, so the verb must be the plural form ‘sind’, even though the word looks the same in singular and plural. Native speakers often comment on comfort when shopping for clothing, but they may also ask about style or fit before mentioning comfort.
