Japanese has 2 main adjective types - い形容詞 and な形容詞。 I think that this makes it easy to confuse English words that end with a y (which makes an ii sound) and use them as adjectives. Here is a common example: Can you see the mistake? Healthy is an adjective, so it is used correctly on this sign. But... Safety is a noun! The adjective is safe. The sign should say Healthy and Safe. Some English adjectives do end with an ii sound: funny, happy, friendly But some do not! cool, smart, weak Have fun when you use English but... Be safe!!!
