Adjective (形容詞)

Back to Morphology (Parts of Speech)
i

Definition:

Words for qualities/states. Two types: い-adj and な-adj.

r

Connection Rules:

い-adj: end in い, conjugate by replacing い (くない/かった). な-adj: need な before noun, だ/です as predicate

e

Example:

大きい家ですね。

It's a big house!

この町は静かです。

This town is quiet.

!

Confusion Points:

い vs な: い conjugates internally (高い→高く→高くない). な needs external copula (静かだ→静かじゃない)
