Japanese Language

「Adjectives and Adverbs」
「Part 1」

「Types of Adjectives」

There are two different types of adjectives in the Japanese language, i-adjectives, where each word in this subset end with i・い. Then there is the na-adjectives, which similar to the i-adjectives, has the words in this subset end in na・な. The major distinction being that while i-adjectives are words that are Japanese in origin, while na-adjectives are most usually Chinese in origin.

i-Adjectives
Examples:
atarashii・新しい・New
isogashii・忙しい・Busy
omoshiroi・面白い・Interesting

na-adjectives
Examples:
shizukana・静かな・Quiet
sukina・好きな・Favorite
benrina・便利な・Convenient

「Noun modifiers」

Japanese adjectives, when used as noun modifiers, similar to English, precede the modified nouns. If the noun modifiers are foreign loan-words, they of course become na-adjectives.

Examples:
「i-adjectives」
Ōkii ie・大きい家・A big house
Kuroi kuruma・黒い車・A black car
「na-adjectives」
Kireina hana・きれいな花・A pretty flower
Modanna biru・モダンなビル・A modern building
Genkina hito・元気な人・A healthy person
​ Yunīkuna aidia・ユニークなアイヂイア・A unique idea
