Adjectives in Japanese come before the noun they describe, just like in English. For い-adjectives, put them directly before the noun. For な-adjectives, add な before the noun. Key points: • い-adjective + noun: おいしいパン • な-adjective + な + noun: きれいな部屋 • Adjective order is before the noun • No need for additional particles inside the phrase For example, “大きい犬” means “big dog.” “静かな町” means “quiet town.” This structure is used all the time in everyday speech. It allows you to make more specific noun phrases. Be careful to choose the right type: い-adjectives do not take な, and な-adjectives must take な before a noun. Practice by pairing common adjectives with common nouns, like “高い本,” “きれいな花,” and “おもしろい映画.”
