Hi there,
I'm learning different forms of the adjectives now, one of them is the ~て form. The explanation was, when you use adjectives to connect two sentences or when you enumerate adjectives, you should use the ~て form. e.g.:
たなかさんは せがたかくて、とても かっこいい ひと です
(Mr. Tanaka is a tall, very handsome person)
すしを たべなくて、 ぎゅうどんも たべない。
(I don't eat sushi; I don't eat gyuudon either. - I made that up, hope it works like that :emoji_wink
And then I came across dake dewa naku ...~mo, particularly this example:
さちこは あたまが よかった だけ では なく、とても しんせつ でした
(Sachiko was not only smart but also kind)
Question: aren't "nai" forms of the verbs also handled as i-adjectives? Shouldn't it be だけ では なくて?
