Grammar Points

The auxilary adjective st

Today's grammar point is the auxilary adjective st

. This auxiliary adjective 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 ~". St

attaches

directly to the connective form (the -masu stem) of verbs and auxiliary verbs and

to the roots of adjectives and auxiliary adjectives.

There are, however, exceptions to this pattern. The st form of adjectiveswhose stem consists of only one kana, such as ii/yoi (good) and nai (nonextant),

require that sa be inserted between the root and the st

auxiliary. Therefore,

ii/yoi becomes yosast

, and nai becomes nasast

.

The negative form of st

s

t x or s

t .
