To Qualify Noun / Kireina Hana / Beautiful Flower

Hi, this is Yuyujin.

Today is a sequel to the previous lesson.
I will introduce the expression to qualify noun ” Na-adjective + Noun” form.

For example,

Kireina Hana
(きれいなはな)
a beautiful flower

“Kireina (きれいな)” is a Na-adjective.

But this “Na Adjective” can not be used in “A Wa B Desu” (A + B) expressions with the same word.
Na-adjectives need to be taken off the last “Na(な)” in the “A Wa B Desu” expressions.
For example,

Kono Hana Wa Kirei Desu
(このはなはきれいです。)
This flower is beautiful.

Kireina is changed to Kirei in the “A Wa B Desu” expressions.

I will list up some examples.
