๐ Explanation
The Plain Form (ๆฎ้ๅฝข) is used in casual conversations with friends and family. For verbs, the present/future plain form is the same as the Dictionary Form.
Unlike the polite form (-masu), the plain form does not change between a habitual action (I eat every day) and a future action (I will eat tomorrow).
For Na-adjectives and nouns, the plain form of 'desu' is 'da'.
Ashita iku.
= 'I will go tomorrow.' (Casual)
Kore wa hon da.
= 'This is a book.' (Casual)
