Adjectives: Negative Conjugation

Introduction

Welcome! This lesson will build upon your newfound adjective knowledge and teach you how to create all sorts of negative adjectives. This is important stuff! After all, when the food isn't tasty, it's important to be able to say so, right?

There are going to be a few things we haven’t covered yet, like casual speech or the mysterious「じゃない」, but don’t worry about these for now—you’ll learn more about them soon! (And by soon, I mean in the very next lesson. 👀)
