This lesson is a continuation of Lesson 15. Recall that Lesson 15 dealt with な adjectives. First let's review some な adjectives.

So, for example we can make the following sentence:

しずかです。. It's quiet.

Now we need to think back to Lesson 1. Recall that we introduced two forms for negating nouns.

Examples:

Now we can make our sentences as we normally would with plain nouns.

Examples:
