Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•Conjugation Tip**: As an i-adjective, 涼しい (すずしい) follows regular i-adjective conjugation rules. For the negative form, simply drop the い and add くない to say 涼しくない, meaning "not cool."
•Past Tense Reminder**: To describe past weather, change the ending い to かった, making it 涼しかった. This means "it was cool," perfect for reminiscing about a breezy day.
•Particle Pairing**: When using 涼しい to describe the weather, pair it with the particle が and the word 天気 (てんき) for clear sentences like "今日は涼しい天気です" (きょうは すずしい てんき です), meaning "The weather is cool today."
•Common Mistake Alert**: Don't confuse 涼しい with 冷たい (つめたい), which describes things that are cold to the touch. Use 涼しい for temperature or atmosphere, like a refreshing breeze, rather than for objects or substances.
•い-adjective: Conjugates by changing the い ending
