I just had my kanji, grammar (using perfect tense and whatnot, bleh) and letter writing over the past couple days in japanese.
I aced them but I need to get away xD

I-Adjectives: (these are conjugated differently than na-adjectives)
Cool Looking/Attractive かっこいい Kakko ii
Old (NOT PEOPLE) ふるい Furui
New あたらしい Atarashii
Interesting おもしろい Omoshiroi
Delicious おいしい Oishii
Bad Tasting まずい Mazui
Scary こわい Kowai
Expensive たかい Takai
Cheap やすい Yasui

When using i-adjectives, You can place them right before a noun to describe it like こわいねこ (Kowai neko) ”Scary cat". You can also use it right before ending a sentence... like following it with -desu. Ie: これはやすいです。 (Kore wa yasui desu。) ”This is cheap." There is no change in it。


Na-adjectives:
Clean/Pretty きれい(な) Kirei(na)
Impossible むり(な) Muri(na)
Quiet しずか(な) Shizuka(Na)

When using na-adjectives, you can end them in a sentence just like i-adjectives in that you would do: わたしのへやはきれいです。 (Watashi no heya wa kirei desu.) ”My room is clean." Notice that if you follow it with -desu you drop the "na". That is because you only have the "na" before a noun. So for example: あのまちはしずかなまちです。 (Ano machi wa shizukana machi desu.) "That town over there is a quiet town. VS あのまちはしずかです。 (Ano machi wa shizuka desu.) ”That town over there is quiet."
