Japanese Lesson 7

In this lesson we complain about the size of our hotel rooms.

I mispronounce a few words [in English], if you notice them, feel free to laugh at my expense. I know I did.

-----------
The lessons here are from:
Eiichi Kiyooka. (1953). "Japanese in 30 Hours".
Tokyo The Hokuseido Press.
I'm not affiliated with them in anyway, if they see this as an infringement I will remove the videos-- though I will probably post my own lessons, origional ones of course.

Why does "kirei" get the "de" and not the "yoku"?

confused...

[RagingJaggi]

learning japanese in english as a 14y.o. german is fun :33

[xAnnxInsanityx]

@Marc329 because kirei is a noun adjective, and yoi (yoku) is a regular adjective. only the regular adjectives have inflexions while the noun adjectives stay the same.

[TheInformalstyle]

Why is it not "kore wa yoku desu"? This is good, no? "kore wa kawaii desu" is right? Or "kore wa kawaii arimasu"? I am pretty confused now!

[inesaranha]

@Marc329 I think it's because it ends in "i" while "yoku" ends with the inflexion "ku".
