You'd think that this page wouldn't have gone so long with such a basic mistake like "denakatta" instead of "deha/dewa nakatta" for the past tense. I'm going ahead and making the changes. Orinthe 11:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Are "verb adjectives" basically "passive verbs" like "saved" and "protected" in English? IF so, how does "akai" (red) fit in? ZtObOr 02:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
While I think 赤い (akai) exactly means something is red. A grammatically similar to "reddish <noun>" or "<noun>, which is painted red, ..." I think. 58.38.149.53 (talk) 19:46, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
I know these are falling out of use, but still exist. If anyone can give an explanation of the taru adjectives, I'm sure that would be helpful to many people Dougalg (talk) 04:42, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

This article was renamed to "Japanese equivalents of adjectives". I think this is too much. It implies that adjectives don't exist in the true or technical sense within the Japanese language. This is absurd, every language has adjectives. Indeed adjectives are more versatile in Japanese, and their usage can be complex with inflections/declensions/particles and other factors. But they are all adjectives, nonetheless. I suggest reverting the name of this article to "Japanese adjectives". If anybody feels this title is genuinely misleading to the layperson or academic, I'm sure adding an short description in the lead introduction of the article is adequate. But the title should still be changed. JKVeganAbroad (talk) 09:54, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
This article has largely been dormant for years, so I'm really happy to see this article getting proper attention recently; particularly the edits by @LittleWhole: and @Eirikr:. Now that the article has been improved, hopefully it will be easier and maybe more compelling for others to build upon what exists so far. Thank you! JKVeganAbroad (talk) 17:30, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
