Japanese Language
「Adjectives and Adverbs」

「Adj stem/Adj te + gozaimasu~う/で ございます」
To make a super polite/humble expression.

(a). 
ai・ō chiisai 「小さい」・chiisō「小さう」・gozaimasu「ございます」「Is small」

oi・ō tsuyoi「強い」・tsuyō「強う」・gozaimasu「ございます」「Is strong」

(2).
ii・ū ureshii「うれしい」・ureshū「うれしゅう」gozaimasu「ございます」「Is happy」

ōkii「大きい」・ōkyū 「大きゅう」・gozaimasu「ございます」「Is big」

(3).
ui・ū atsui「熱い」・atsū 「熱う」・gozaimasu「ございます」「Is hot」

(b).
zannen de「残念で」・gozaimasu「ございます」「Is regrettable」


The stem of an i-adjective or the te form of a na-adjective, followed by gozaimasu, is a super polite form. It can also be a humble form if the subject of the sentence is the speaker or someone close to him. The stems of i-adjectives make the above changes before gozaimasu.

Examples:
こちらは小そうございますが、そちらより強うございます。
Kochira wa chiisō gozaimasu ga, sochira yori tsuyō gozaimasu.
This one is smaller but stronger than that one.

母が元気でうれしゅうございます。
Haha ga genki de ureshū gozaimasu.
My mother is healthy and I am happy.

我がチームが負けて残念でございました。
Waga chīmu makete zannen de gozaimashita.
It was regrettable that out teams lost (the game).

GREETINGS: The super-polite forms of some of the adjectives are used as greetings.

arigatō「ありがとう」・gozaimasu「ございます」「Thank you」

omedetō「おめでとう」・gozaimasu「ございます」「Congratulations」

o-hayō「お早う」・gozaimasu「ございます」「Good morning」

o-atsū 「お熱う」・gozaimasu「ございます」「It's hot」

o-samū 「お寒う」・gozaimasu「ございます」「It's cold」

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね!
