い-Adjective + Noun (Describing a noun)

Describing a noun

JLPT N5
Pattern

い-adjective + Noun

How it works

An い-adjective goes straight before a noun with no extra particle: あかい りんご (a red apple). Its past and negative forms can also describe a noun: たかくない 店 (a shop that isn't expensive).

Examples

  • あかい りんごを 買いました。I bought a red apple.
  • 大きい 犬が います。There's a big dog.
