Hello Everyone. It's been a while! Having already discussed Japanese verbs, I thought we could continue to expand on your sentences by learning about adjectives in their present positive form next. Though they might seem a little confusing at first, they're very simple to use and will be very helpful in expressing yourself.
Adjectives will fall into one of two categories: i-adjectives and na-adjectives.
i-adjectives are adjectives that end in an I. Some examples of i-adjectives would be 熱い (atsui), 寒い (samui), and すごい (sugoi).
Be careful!
Not every adjective that ends in an い is an i-adjective.
The other type of adjectives you will come across are na-adjectives which are followed by な when describing a noun. Some examples of na-adjectives would be 暇な (hima na), きれいな (kirei na), and 幸せな (shiawase na).
If na-adjectives are followed by a verb, you drop な and just write the adjective beside the verb.
Try translating the following sentences (Use a dictionary if you don't know the word):
You are tall.
This is a cold drink.
I am happy.
Is the hotel clean?
Ice cream is cheap.
