Conjugation for adjectives and nouns.
Does conjugation for nouns and adjectives follow a similar pattern as for verbs in terms of adding the suffixes to the stem of the adjective or noun and changing the last letter or dropping it away?
For example :
わるい
Is bad - わるいです
This brings me to another question: In the book i am using (idiot's guide to conversational Japanese 2nd Edition) conjugation is explained like the example below (referring to an adjective conjugation):
STEM + kuna-idesu
What is the STEM value? Is it 'warui' or some other form because if i use google translate (it's probably inaccurate yes but it's all i have to work with) and enter わるいいです it doesn't translate to 'is bad' but when i enter わるいです it seems correct (translates to 'is bad').
Thanks in advance
