ใ„-adjective (i keiyoushi) โ€” adjective ending with ใ„

ใ„-adjectives always end with ใ„ and can stand on their own: ้ข็™ฝใ„ = 'interesting.' You can add ใงใ™ for politeness, but the adjective itself carries the meaning. The cool part: ใ„-adjectives conjugate just by changing that ใ„ ending โ€” no extra words needed!
