i-form + adj.

こんにちは
.
I've stumbled upon this while posting another post (-naide vs. -nakute): i-form verb + adj. and the question is: apart from with yasui and nikui, is that construction possible?

Here's some examplesentences:

私にはナッツをたべきけんです - Nuts are dangerous for me to eat
そのじょしはあいしかんたんです - That girl is easy to love
私には"ごめんなさい"をいいむずかしいです - "I'm sorry" is hard for me to say

Dan-san,
like I wrote in reply for another thread, your confusions about grammar is getting to the
risky level. I'll give you the translation for those sentences, but I sincerely don't know where to
start to correct and give advice. Going into "naide vs nakute" now seems to be too advance.
(By the way, those three sentences don't seem like "example" of "nakute" or "naide". None of them has those.)

私にはナッツをたべきけんです - Nuts are dangerous for me to eat
=> ナッツを食べるのは危険です。OR 私は、ナッツが食べられません。(It's more natural this way in Japanese.)

そのじょしはあいしかんたんです - That girl is easy to love
=> その女の子は、かんたんに愛します。OR その女の子は、すぐに人を愛します。(This is a lot better in Japanese.)

私には"ごめんなさい"をいいむずかしいです - "I'm sorry" is hard for me to say
=> 私には、「ごめんなさい」と言うことがむずかしいです。

with the i-form in mind, and yasui/nikui. couldn´t the phrases be:

私には、ナッツを食べるはきけんです。 For me, to eat nuts is dangerous or To eat nuts is dangerous for me
その彼女はあいやすいです。 That girl is easy to love (or should it be "あいしやすい"?
私には、”ごめんなさい”といいにくいです。 For me, "I´m sorry" is hard to say.

Dan-san,
first of all, there's no "i-form". I think you're mixing up verbs and adjectives.
You can't mix them if you want to understand conjugations properly.

with the i-form in mind, and yasui/nikui. couldn´t the phrases be:
私には、ナッツを食べるはきけんです。 For me, to eat nuts is dangerous or To eat nuts is dangerous for me
その彼女はあいやすいです。 That girl is easy to love (or should it be "あいしやすい"?

No.
I wrote more than once that 食べるは is not correct. あい is noun and あいします（あいする） is verb.

私には、”ごめんなさい”といいにくいです。 For me, "I´m sorry" is hard to say.

You can say that.

and the -no is to make taberu to a noun? watashi niwa, nattsu wo taberu no wa kiken desu

Dan-san,
"no" works like "nomilise" verbs.

as for the -masu-stem + adjectives. aside from -yasui and -nikui, the answer is no then?

(like たべ + きけん (tabe = eat, kiken na = dangerous, tabekiken desu = dangerous to eat))

Then... good. Now I know

Oh. and P.S. This with [masu-stem]+[adjective] just came into my mind while working on -naide and -nakute. Apart from that they have no connection.

Dan-san,
there're limited adjectives used for that pattern, and "kiken na" is not one of them.

Pattern doesn't mean you can apply any words in.
