い-adjective

Definition and Conjugation

  • い-adjectives are one of two types of Japanese adjectives in Japanese, that end with the character "い" when modifying nouns to describe their characteristic or properties.
  • い-adjectives are conjugated based on their stem, which removes the ending い from the complete い-adjective words. For example, the stem of "おいしい" is "おいし", which is then used to conjugate the adjective.
