"Apples are tasty."

Translation: Jabłka są smaczne.

What case is apples in?

[immery]

In this sentence it is a subject of the sentence - so nominative (plural)

[GemmVR]

why we put są? what does it mean?

[Harun662405]

"są" is plural form of "jest" , and they usually mean "they are" .

[Jellei]

"are".

[imloxsy]

Why not smaczna?

[Jellei]

'smaczna' is singular feminine.

'jabłka' is 'not masculine-personal' plural. The 'not masculine-personal' form of the adjective in Nominative is identical to neuter singular. So "smaczne".

[JaniceSchl1]

When I answered są the last time this question came up, it corrected to 'to'. Now it's opposite.

[matteus89]

Pyszne???

[Jellei]

It works.

We think that "pyszne" = "delicious" and is stronger than just "tasty", but there were so many reports for "delicious" that we decided to give up on this distinction.

[Timoak100]

Why is it jabłka and not jabłek

[Jellei]

Apples are simply the subject of the sentence here, so they take Nominative, which is "jabłka". "jabłek" is Genitive and makes absolutely no sense here.
