Japanese lessons N5(grammar)

Question 1

I and NA adjectives
In Japanese, there are two kinds of adjectives: い-adjectives and な-adjectives.

Answer 1

They are named for their last character when they attach to nouns.

Question 2

How to turn an adj into negative form
What if you wanted to use an adjective in a negative sense (not new, not cute, not young, etc.)? You can conjugate them!
な-adjectives conjugate with the “suffix” じゃない.

Answer 2

な-adjectives conjugate with the “suffix” じゃない.

Question 3

Take the adjective げんき（な）(it means energetic).To make it negative, you will drop the な and add じゃない.

Answer 3

You can then work with this adjective like normal (by placing it in front of a noun).

Question 4

い-adjectives work in a slightly different way - instead of じゃない, they become negative using くない.

Answer 4

You will drop the final い when you add くない

Question 5

There is only one irregular adjective in Japanese, and it is いい (good).

Answer 5

いい → よくない

Question 6

Let’s tackle one more way of using adjectives.

Answer 6

ふるい → ふるくて
あおい → あおくて
すばらしい → すばらしくて

Question 7

If you want to use two or more adjectives in succession (like a cute, famous, yellow cat), you will conjugate adjectives there too.

Answer 7

い-adjectives will drop the い like before, and add くて.

Question 8

As mentioned before, いい will conjugate as if it were よい, becoming よくて.

Answer 8

You can also use negative adjectives - な or い - the same way.

Question 9

Just remove the い at the end and add くて!

Answer 9

な-adjectives will conjugate by dropping the な and adding で.

Question 10

E.g:
かわいくて、ゆうめいで、きいろい ねこ

Answer 10

This is a cute, famous, yellow cat!
