い-adjective ＋ N (i-adjective + N) — [i-adjective] + noun
Placing an い-adjective directly before a noun to describe it.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
An い-adjective describes a noun by sitting directly in front of it with no change: 「～い + N」. The い stays as-is; nothing is added. Examples: 高い車 (takai kuruma) = "an expensive car", 新しい本 (atarashii hon) = "a new book." This is the key contrast with な-adjectives — い-adjectives need no な.

これは大きい犬です。
kore wa ookii inu desu.

おいしいラーメンを食べます。
oishii raamen o tabemasu.

あれは新しい車です。
