Japanese basic learning journey!

1. I-Adjectives

 * I-adjectives describe nouns and end with "-i" (e.g., 赤い - akai - red, 大きい - ookii - big).

 * To make them negative, replace "-i" with "-くない" (-kunai).

   * Example: 赤い (akai) - red ➡️ 赤くない (akai kunai) - not red

Example:

 * このりんごは赤い。(Kono ringo wa akai.) - This apple is red.

 * この家は大きいです。(Kono ie wa ookii desu.) - This house is big.

 * この猫は白くないです。(Kono neko wa shirokunai desu.) - This cat is not white.

2. Basic Sentence Structure (Subject-Object-Verb)

 * Subject + は (wa) + Object + を (wo) + Verb

   * 私は本を読みます。(Watashi wa hon o yomimasu.) - I read a book.

     * 私は (Watashi wa) - I

     * 本 (hon) - book

     * を読みます (o yomimasu) - read

3. Basic Verbs

 * 食べる (Taberu) - to eat

 * 飲む (Nomu) - to drink

 * 書く (Kaku) - to write

 * 見る (Miru) - to see/watch

 * 行く (Iku) - to go
