Adjectives

As part of my studying I am making adjective charts. I am trying to match corresponding adjectives in a table, as well as remember conjugations. The chart currently includes up to Genki Chapter 6.

Type	Present Positive	Present Negative	Past Positive	Past Negative
い	いです	くないです	かったです	くなかったです
な	です	じゃないです	でした	じゃなかったです
いい	いいです	よくないです	よかったです	よくなかったです

Rules

• な is identical to です
• い
• いです for present and かったです for past
• Adds くな for negative in both present and past
• いい matches い, only replaces first い withよ in all cases but present positive

For the adjective list I tried to organize so that positive is on the left, and negative on the right. For adjectives that aren't necessarily positive or negative, I organized them based on how the majority of people would likely categorize them if they were forced to choose.
