There are two types of adjectives in Japanese: i-adjectives and na-adjectives. I-adjectives all end in ~ i, though they never end in ~ ei (e.g. kirei is not an i-adjective.) Kowakunai and samukunai are negative form of kowai and samui. Click this link to learn more about Japanese adjectives. (3) Personal Pronouns â€Å"Watashi† is formal and the most commonly used pronoun. Japanese pronoun usage is quite different from that of English. There are a variety of pronouns used in Japanese depending on the gender of the speaker or the style of speech. Learning how to use Japanese personal pronouns is important, but more important is to understand how not to use them. When the meaning can be understood from the context, the Japanese prefer not to use personal pronouns. Click this link to learn more about personal pronouns.
