な-adjectives



Japanese has two types of adjectives: い-adjectives and な-adjectives. Here is a list of な-adjectives which are more commonly used. For notes about distinguishing between the two types of adjectives and how they are used, please see the tutorial named "Adjectives".

べんり - benri
convenient

ふべん - fuben

にぎやか - nigiyaka
lively, bustling

ゆうめい - yuumei
famous

きれい - kirei
clean, tidy

しずか - shizuka

しんせつ - shinsetsu

たいへん - taihen

たいせつ - taisetsu

げんき - genki

へん - hen

とくい - tokui

じょうず - jouzu

にがて - nigate

na-adj are slightly more complicated than i-adj in my opinion. Be careful of them!
