Tính từ đuôi な

な-adjectives — conjugate like nouns, modify nouns with なmachine translation

Formation〜です / 〜じゃありません; な-adjective + な + noun

な-adjectives (静か, 親切, 好き, 上手…) conjugate exactly like nouns: affirmative adds です, negative adds じゃありません, past adds でした: 静かです, 静かじゃありません.

When modifying a noun, you must insert な in between: 親切な人 "a kind person". This is where they differ from い-adjectives (which go directly before the noun, no な needed).

Note: 好き (to like) and 上手 (to be good at) are な-adjectives, and their objects take が: 魚が好きです.
