In Japanese, adjectives are called Keiyoushi (\u5f62\u5bb9\u8a5e\u3001\u3051\u3044\u3088\u3046\u3057). In any language, I believe that the more adjectives you know, the easier you can communicate. \u00a0In Japanese, this is also true. Even though you might not know how to describe things in a complete sentence, if you know one key adjective, you can easily let the other person know how you are feeling or what you are trying to describe. Below, I have collected some of the most useful Japanese adjectives. The important thing to note\u00a0here is that in Japanese, we have two main types of adjectives: the ones that end with “I(\u3044)” & also the ones that end with “NA(\u306a)”. Part 1 of the adjective lesson is based on the \u3044 Adjectives.<\/p>\n
