"Wo ist meine Jeans?"

Translation: Where are my jeans?

[eliza763]

Why ist?

[quis_lib_duo]

Because we consider one (pair of) jeans / one (pair of) trousers as a singular in German.

[Oyoyo4]

I don't understand why here Jeans takes singular in German. In English it takes plural and Jeans, according to Leo, is a plural noun even in German.

[asmaalbaraa]

But it take "meine" for plural !!

[krunars]

Nope, “meine Jeans” is feminine singular. I know, weird, right?

[EricDCream]

What's wrong with Wo sind meine Jeans

[Turtlerider]

That would mean you're looking for multiple pairs of jeans.

[asmaalbaraa]

But it take "meine" for plural !!

[Gabuladze]

No, its feminine

Why is "Where is my jeans?" incorrect?
