N5

Tính từ đuôi い

Adjectives ending in い — affirmative, negative, modifying nounsmachine translation

Formation〜いです / 〜くないです; い-adjective + noun

い-adjectives end in the sound い: 暑い, 大きい, 難しい…. To speak politely, just add です: 暑いです. Negative: drop い and add くないです (or, more formally, くありません): 難しい → 難しくないです.

When modifying a noun, an い-adjective goes directly before the noun with nothing added: 大きい犬 "a big dog."

Watch out for the irregular adjective いい (good): its negative is よくないです, not いくないです.
