What you will learn
- The instrumental plural profile Every long adjective takes -ыми/-ими with a plural instrumental head.
- Choosing -ыми or -ими The diagnostic adjective families remain more reliable than a binary hard/soft label.
- Multiple means and channels Plural instrumental can enumerate tools, vehicles, media, body parts, or repeated means.
- Accompaniment with groups С + instrumental plural joins a subject with several companions, associated items, or grouped features.
- Plural roles, classifications, and states Instrumental plural describes roles or resulting classifications for plural subjects after common copular verbs.
- Plural spatial landmarks Instrumental plural follows над, под, пе́ред, за, and ме́жду when several landmarks define a stable position.
- Directed placement versus plural position The accusative/instrumental spatial contrast persists with plural landmarks.
- Quantified phrases in instrumental When a numeral phrase is instrumental, numeral, adjective, and noun all express instrumental plural.
