<p>
	In Japanese, there are exactly three <strong>い-adjectives</strong> which sometimes think they are <strong>な-adjectives</strong> when appearing in front of a noun.
	These adjecives are <strong><ruby>大ooきい</ruby></strong> and <strong><ruby>小tiiさい</ruby></strong>, which mean <strong>big</strong> and <strong>small</strong> respectively,
	and <strong>おかしい</strong>, which means <strong>funny</strong> or <strong>strange</strong>.
</p>

<p>
	When we write these adjectives in front of a noun, we can write them in two ways, as shown in the table below.
</p>

<table class="ui fixed celled table">
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<th>English</th>
			<th>い-form</th>
			<th>な-form</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr>
			<td>A big car</td>
			<td><ruby>大ooきい　車kuruma</ruby></td>
			<td><ruby>大ooきな　車kuruma</ruby></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>A small car</td>
			<td><ruby>小tiiさい　車kuruma</ruby></td>
			<td><ruby>小tiiさな　車kuruma</ruby></td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td>A strange car</td>
			<td><ruby>おかしい　車kuruma</ruby></td>
			<td><ruby>おかしな　車kuruma</ruby></td>
		</tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

<p>
	This behavior can only occur in front of a noun. In all other cases, these adjectives are treated as <strong>い-adjectives</strong> only.
