Hello! I am Mayo, a Japanese YouTuber/ japanese language teacher.
Today, I wanna teach you about Japanese Adjective which is called 形容詞 (Keiyoshi) in Japanese.
2 types of adjectives in Japanese
In Japanese, there are 2 types of Adjectives.い形容詞(I adjectives)&な形容詞(NA adjectives)
There are differences in shapes and how to use them.
Examples for I adjectives(い形容詞)

If you want to make this sentence negative, there will be several forms.
Making Negative form of I adjective
- Erase い(i)
- Put く(ku)
- Put ないですor はないです or くありません or くはありません
Examples for NA adjectives(な形容詞)
“Cherry blossoms are beautiful.”
If you want to make this sentence negative, you have to put じゃないですor ではないです or じゃありません or ではありません
