Hi, this is Yuyujin.
I would like to introduce the way to qualify the noun.
There are some qualifying ways of noun, ” I-Adjective + Noun”, ” Na-Adjective + Noun” and “Noun + Noun”.
From this lesson I will show you these 3 forms.
After the 3 lessons you can describe the world more colorful in Japanese.
I-Adjective + Noun
This time is ” I-Adjective + Noun”.
This is the most simple way to modify the noun.
This I-adjective can be used ” A Wa B Desu” (A = B ) expressions easily.
Akai RIngo (あかいりんご)
a red apple
“Akai” is I-adjective.
Ano Ringo Wa Akai Desu
(あのりんごはあかいです。)
The apple is red.
Aoi Sora (あおいそら)
blue sky
Kono Sora Wa Aoi Desu
(このそらはあおいです。)
This sky is blue.

(あのじょせいはうつくしいです。)
That woman is beautiful.
