Keiyoushi - Japanese adjectives of type i [い] - List

In the Japanese language, adjectives can be divided into 2 types, those ending in i [い] and those ending in na [な]. In this article, we are going to learn a little about the Japanese adjectives finished and i [い] called keiyoushi.

For those who don't know, Japanese adjectives are words that attribute a quality or characteristic to nouns. THE.

The adjectives i [い] have this name because they end with the letter [い]. So whenever you come across a Japanese word that ends with [い] before a noun, it's probably an adjective.

Conjugating adjectives ending with i [い]

There are several ways to combine adjectives in [い]. One is using suffixes like:

• です - Desu it is a polite way to end sentences with adjectives;
• くない ー Kunai it is a negative way of saying that something is not a given adjective;

To conjugate an adjective as negative, just replace the [い] with [くない]. See an example of a negative phase below:

• 凄くないです [Sugokunai desu] - It's not cool;

The ku [く] also serves to link a phrase using the form you [て] such as:

• 赤くてきれいです。 [akakuyou kirei desu] - It's red and pretty;

The shape -eba [えば] is used to indicate condition:

• 赤ければ [akakereba] if it is red;

Ending adjectives with naru [なる] (means to become or to transform), you can create the following expressions:

• 私の部屋は広くなる [watashi no heya wa hirokunaru] - My room became large / large;

• 古かった家。 [furukatta ie] - House that was old;
• 凄かったです。 [sugokatta desu] - It was Cool;
• 凄くなかった。 (sugokunakatta) - It wasn't cool;

There are other ways too, but we will not go into details, so as not to confuse too much. Not to mention that there are many ways to merge the adjective with the verbs. We will leave below, without examples, some other forms of conjugation:

• I'm of [そうだ] - Indicates to appear to be. With the exception of ない (なさそう) and よい;
• kattari[かったり] - Indicates a momentary situation;
