な-adjective + な + N (na-adjective + na + N) — [na-adjective] + な + noun

A な-adjective needs な between it and the noun it describes.

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

な-adj na-adjective
linking な
N noun

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

When a な-adjective describes a noun, put な between the adjective and the noun: 「[na-adj] + な + N」. This な is exactly why they are called "な-adjectives." Examples: しずかなへや (shizuka na heya) = "a quiet room", きれいな花 (kirei na hana) = "a pretty flower." But at the end of a sentence (Nは ~です) no な is used.

Examples (उदाहरणहरू)

しずかへやです

ここはしずかなへやです。

koko wa shizuka na heya desu.

This is a quiet room.

きれいな花ですね。

kirei na hana desu ne.

元気な犬です。

genki na inu desu.

It is an energetic dog.
