It's pretty basic, actually. It's just an "X is Y" sentence with Y being an adjective, so the fact that it's negated changes nothing... everything is in Nominative here.
If you're talking solely about the trousers without 'pair' we would use the 3rd person plural: My trousers are dirty, Where are my trousers? etc.
True, though I interpreted the meaning here as "(pairs of) trousers" and not just one pair. Having said that "a cheap pair of trousers is not comfortable" would carry the same meaning I guess. Did the programme suggest "a pair of trousers are" as a valid answer? If it did, report it.
"Comfy" needs to be accepted as a valid translation for "wygodne". Cheap pants aren't comfy" and "Cheap trousers aren't comfy" were both rejected.
I disagree. The gentleman should be able to speak without using colloquial constructions.
In the end, as long as the colloquial terms are not being translated differently from the less informal term, both options should be available, even though it might sound colloquial in the alternate translation. This course is primarily directed towards teaching a language in general, not to be finally able to converse with attendants of a black-tie assemblies.
If I wanted to say "two pairs of trousers" would I have to use "dwoje" and would that take the genitive? or can "dwie pary" be used?
Dwie pary is the correct expression because "para" is a feminine word, and dwoje relates to a masculine gender.
Hello guys) I don't understand : why there is a mistake when I write: a cheap trousers are not comfortable.
