1. 0:00hi again this is Kevin and thanks for
2. 0:01joining me for the last module of the
3. 0:03ninja Japanese sentence formula this is
4. 0:05module 6 and we're going to talk about
5. 0:07adjectives conjugation as you can
6. 0:10probably guess just like verbs it's
7. 0:12really useful to know how to change
8. 0:13adjectives to their past tense and also
9. 0:15how to negate them so let's go over how
10. 0:17to do that now unlike verbs which have
11. 0:21three types in the Japanese language
12. 0:23adjectives really only fall into two
13. 0:25main categories so let's start off with
14. 0:28type 1 adjectives these adjectives are
15. 0:30typically referred to as not adjectives
16. 0:32and some examples are today which is
17. 0:34beautiful and calm down which is easy
18. 0:37the reason they're referred to as not
19. 0:39adjectives is because you want to append
20. 0:42a not after the adjectives when you're
21. 0:44describing something so for example if
22. 0:45you wanted to say beautiful flower you
23. 0:48would never say today Hana you would say
24. 0:50today and not Hana okay then we have
25. 0:54type 2 adjectives and that's pretty much
26. 0:55everything else and those are called
27. 0:57EE adjectives examples of these are
28. 1:00kawaii which is cute and shidou which is
29. 1:03white all right so let's start off with
30. 1:06type 1 adjectives and the key here is to
31. 1:09not change the adjectives itself so
32. 1:11using our example that we just used
33. 1:13which is beautiful flower kid and Ahana
34. 1:15so that's the present tense right if we
35. 1:18wanted to make that the past tense we
36. 1:20keep that first part and just change it
37. 1:22to see Dana Hanna gotta it was beautiful
38. 1:26see Dana ha-ah all right if you wanted
39. 1:30to negate that we could say today and
40. 1:32Ahana John I see Dana Han on John Knight
41. 1:35so if this is not a beautiful flower and
42. 1:38if you wanted to say this wasn't a
43. 1:40beautiful flower past- you could say ki
44. 1:43Dana Hana janicot stop cheating on
45. 1:47Anjana
46. 1:48alright so it's you take the base
47. 1:51sentence the present tense sentence and
48. 1:52then you just change the endings make
49. 1:55sense alright so let's move on to type 2
50. 1:57adjectives so the e adjectives so the
51. 2:00key to conjugating ee adjectives is to
52. 2:03just drop the e and change the adjective
53. 2:05itself so type one adjective leave the
54. 2:07adjectives alone
55. 2:09ee adjectives we want to change the
56. 2:10adjective so let's look at a really
57. 2:12simple example just
58. 2:13single adjective let's look at the
59. 2:15adjective white oh so it's already
60. 2:18in its present tense or if you
61. 2:21wanted to go to the past tense we would
62. 2:23drop the e and change it to Shiro kata
63. 2:26and again that TT is showing up
64. 2:28Shiro kata if we wanted to change it to
65. 2:32its negative it would be shiro kunai
66. 2:34Shiro kunai and then if you wanted the
67. 2:37past negative it would be shiro gonna
68. 2:39cut that oku Nakata and that's it
69. 2:43we can use this for any adjectives let's
70. 2:45do another one really quickly here what
71. 2:47about kawaii cute present tense would be
72. 2:50kawaii past tense would be kawaii kata
73. 2:54negative is collide kunai and past
74. 2:58negative is collide guna kata all right
75. 3:01so you just change that last letter into
76. 3:04either kata kunai or Kuna kata and
77. 3:07that's it well it congratulations
78. 3:09believe it or not you've just completed
