Glad I found this site! I hope someones still active on it.
Not to sure where people are getting the “nai” and “ja nai” it must be posted in the later lessons?
anyway Just wondering about the answers,
if it ends in ‘ii’ do you only remove the last ‘i’?
e.g.
Short – Mijikaku
New – Atarashiku
Big – Ookiku
etc?

konnichiwa,
I found so difficult in understanding the 2 adjectives, the “i” and “na”. My question is what if the word adjective does not end with “i” and “na”?
Example: the girl is jumping.
How to translate this into romaji since jumping is “janpu”?

The negative part has been covered too. Please use the search at the sidebar to search for “dewa arimasen”, “janai”, etc.

For “The Pen is red” – Pen wa akai desu
For “The red pan” – Akai na pen desu or Aka pen desu

Oh, I see, thanks. What about making negative na adjectives? ookinadesu- ookidewaarimasen/jaarimasen/janai. And what happens if the adjective comes after the noun, can that happen? “The pen is red?”

Howdy,

I saw you posted the i-adjectives, but I don’t see the na-adjectives. Is that in a later lesson?
