Слово дня: ДЖИ́НСЫ (n, pl) = jeans


ДЖИ́НСЫ [dzhýnsy]

Sometimes when we borrow an English word into the Russian language, we add a Russian ending for plural (Ы) on top of the English one. Look at other words made according to this model:

чи́псы [chípsy] - chips, as in potato chips
кли́псы [kl'ípsy] - clip-on earrings
бу́тсы [bútsy] - football boots or any other massive looking boots

If you can remember more Russian words formed like this, add in comments!
