Before you begin
  • Know い vs な adjective classes.
Why this matters

You can now evaluate systems and situations positively or negatively: fast/not fast, convenient/not convenient, difficult/not difficult.

1. The negative transformation differs by class

い-adjective: keep the stem and change final い → くないです. な-adjective: adjective + ではありません (or common じゃありません).

Present adjective matrix
い +速いですis fast
い −速くないですis not fast
な +便利ですis convenient
な −便利ではありませんis not convenient
