i-keiyoushi (~i) -> ~kattadesu
It was [Adjective].
- Pattern: [Adjective] ใใฃใใงใใ
- Meaning: Past tense of i-adjectives (Polite).
Oishikattadesu.
It was delicious.
Samukattadesu.
It was cold.
๐ Explanation
To change an 'i-adjective' into the polite past tense, you must drop the final -i and add ใใใฃใใงใ.
For example, 'oishii' (delicious) becomes 'oishikattadesu' (was delicious).
Note: Do not use 'deshita' with i-adjectives; 'oishii deshita' is incorrect.
Atsui -> Atsukattadesu
= 'It was hot.'
Tanoshii -> Tanoshikattadesu
= 'It was fun.'
