Review Summary

  • ku- + verb root = abstract noun

よくある間違い

Class 15 nouns require the 'ku-' agreement prefix for adjectives. 'Mzuri' belongs to Class 1, which is incorrect here.

Wrong: Kutafakari ni mzuri.
正解: Kutafakari ni kuzuri.

Adjectives modifying a Class 15 noun must take the 'ku-' prefix. 'Kurefu' matches the noun class.

Wrong: Yeye anapenda kutembea ndefu.
正解: Yeye anapenda kutembea kurefu.

Ensure you are using the correct noun rather than an adverb. 'Sanaa' (art) is a noun, 'sana' (very) is an adverb.

Wrong: Kuimba ni sana.
正解: Kuimba ni sanaa.
