Japanese has two types of adjectives: "い-adjectives" and "な-adjectives." Just like verbs, they have present, past, affirmative, and negative conjugations. The two types of adjectives also follow different conjugation patterns.<br><br>

For present tense, simply add です to both い-adjectives and な-adjectives. For negative, you replace the last い of an い-adjective with くない. な-adjectives are just like nouns and you only need to change です to じゃないです.

There are two negative forms for い- and な-adjectives: ないです and ありません. ないです is more colloquial, and ありません is more conservative and more appropriate in the written language. Just like negation with nouns (see <a href="#l2-p6">Lesson 2</a>), じゃ in the negative version can also be replaced with では in more formal situations. Don't apply the noun/な-adjective pattern to い-adjectives. It is wrong to say ×さむいじゃないです, for example.<br><br>

Unlike verbs, adjectives conjugate pretty much the same. The only exception worth noting would be the adjective いい (good). The first syllable of いい is changed to よ in all forms except the dictionary form. There <em>is</em>, however, an alternative, よい, but it's not used as much. Compound adjectives that contain いい, such as かっこいい follow the same rule for いい and we say かっこ<span class="ul-color"></span>くないです. かわいい may look like it contains いい, but it doesn't; it conjugates like every other い-adjective: かわ<span class="ul-color"></span>くない.

If you want to say things like "very hot," and "a little hot," you can add "degree adverbs" like すごく (extremely), とても (very), and ちょっと (a little; slightly) before adjectives.
