What People Look Like
Finding a friend in a crowd, describing a colleague, praising a grandmother's eyes — all of it runs on patterns you own: у + genitive, adjective agreement, and one clever use of в.
The Having Trick Again
Appearance uses your oldest pattern — features are things people have:
The Measurements
Он высокий и молодой.
He is tall and young.
Note: Two adjectives and you've painted the portrait.
What They're Wearing
в + prepositional does clothes:
Character
Common Mistakes
- Волосы in the singular. Hair is always plural: длинные волосы.
- носит everything. You can say она носит очки, but Russians usually just say она в очках.
- Appearance with «есть». У неё есть длинные волосы sounds odd — for features, drop есть: у неё длинные волосы.
What You Can Do Now
You can describe anyone — looks, clothes, character — and understand descriptions well enough to find the right person at a crowded metro exit.
