Japanese Language 「Sentence Structure」 The te (or de) form of an i- or a na-adjective, obtained by replacing the nai of the negative form of an i-adjective with te, or, with na-adjectives, by adding de to the stem is used to link adjectives or sentences, and it means "and." NOTE: The tense of a sentence ending with an adjective is determined by the final form of the adjective or, in the case of na-adjectives, by the final form of the copula. このコートは柔らかくて軽い/軽いです。 Kono kōto wa yawarakakute karui/karui desu. This coat is soft and light. 店員は親切で丁寧だ/丁寧です。 Ten'in wa shinsetsu de teinei da/teinei desu. The clerk is kind and polite. Examples: 新しい秘書は若くて優しいです。 Atarashii hisho wa wakakute yasashii desu. The new secretary is young and kind. 風が強くて、波は高かった。 Kaze ga tsuyokute, nami wa takakatta. The wind was strong and the waves were high. この建物はモダンで立派だ。 Kono tatemono wa modan de rippa da. This structure is modern and magnificent. Hope this was helpful, and see you next time! じゃまたね! °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ ° こゆうきあいはら °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
