3 Grammar Points
Today’s grammar point is the expression \RVDVǀGD, which means “s.t. looks good.” The auxilary adjec-
tive VǀGD is used to indicate the form, condition or state in which something appears, and it is always used
to indicate one’s assumption/judgment based on what one can see. It is therefore equivalent to the English
form “looks like ~”. In this expression, it is appended to the adjective yoi, meaning good. When the the
auxilary adjective VǀGD is appended to an adjective whose stem consists of only one kana, such as ii/yoi
(good) or nai (nonextant), it is necessary to insert sa between the root and the VǀGD auxiliary. Therefore,
ii/yoi becomes \RVDVǀGD, nai becomes QDVDVǀ GD.

Note that for i-adjectives with two or more syllables in the root, the sa syllable is not inserted.
