In this lesson you'll learn the plain form of adjectives.
For な-adjectives, the ending です is replaced with the plain form だ or じゃ ない if the adjective is negative.

Something is strange. | 何か 変 だ よ。nanika hen da yo. |
The situation is not pretty. | 状況 は きれい じゃ ない。joukyou wa kirei ja nai. |
For い-adjectives, the です ending is not changed to だ, but is dropped. It is not grammatically correct to use だ after an い-adjective.
