Nは い-adjectiveです (N wa i-adjective desu) — N is [i-adjective]

Describing what something is like with an い-adjective.

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

N topic

~い i-adjective
です

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

An い-adjective ends in い — for example 高い (takai, expensive), おいしい (oishii, tasty), 新しい (atarashii, new). Use the pattern 「Nは ~いです」to say what something is like. Keep the final い and just add です after it — the い never drops. Example: このラーメンはおいしいです (kono raamen wa oishii desu) = "This ramen is tasty."
