continuative lists of adjectives

こんにちは

Correct me if I'm wrong but, in continuative lists of adjectives, isn't the pattern for i-adjectives: - final i + kitte, and for na: - na + de

Try an example to show what you mean.

Certainly, but first.... correction. I meant: I-adj: - final i + kutte

and now: 2 examples.

1. Kare wa ookikutte furui ie ni sunde imasu
2. Kanojo wa goujasu de kokkei desu.

Lastly: a question. Is it the same for negative adjectives? ex. se ga takakunakutte usui desu

Dan-san, cloa513ch2629-san,
continuative form for i-adejctives: [adjective] - final "i" + "kute"
continuative form for na-adejctives: [adjective] - final "na" + "de"
negative continuative form for i-adejctives: [adjective] - final "i" + "ku naku te"
negative continuative form for na-adejctives: [adjective] - final "na" + "dewa naku te"

I think you've heard "kutte" in colloquial speech. The correct pattern is "kute" without
little pause in middle

Let's see with you examples:
1. Kare wa ookikute furui ie ni sunde imasu.
2. Kanojo wa goujasu de kokkei desu.
3. Se ga takaku nakute yasete imasu.
=> I assumed you wanted to say "thin" person by "usui", contrary of "being fat". That's "yasete iru".

Hope this helps!

Ok, so I wasn't far off the right pattern, it seems:)
