Hello Junkies,
Today you’ll learn Japanese Adjectives – but not ANY adjectives. These are adjectives for your (and others’) personality. This way, you can talk about yourself and the type of person you are. Are you…
- Moody?
- Energetic?
- Charismatic? Let’s find out.
Japanese Adjectives List – 50 Adjectives for Personality
Okay, this is a BIG list. Here’s how I suggest you learn with this.
- Read, review, and read out loud
- Print it out as physical review material (I like printing stuff)
- Listen to the Audio lesson at the bottom for pronunciation
- Save images for your personal use (as flashcards)
- At the end, you’ll learn how to say “I am (adjective).”
Below, you’ll see the English, then the Japanese (Kanji, Hiragana/Katakana) and the Romaji (so you can read it and pronounce it). It’s broken up into 5 parts to make life easier for you. Just review and read out out.

Leave a comment and let me know which of these Japanese Adjectives on this list fits your personality best! To able to say what kind of person you are, there are 2 easy ways. You can either I say “I am ______” or “I am a/an ______ person.”
For the first way, if the adjective/phrase ends with “aru” then you can skip “desu.” Why? You can end the sentence with a verb (like aru… or desu, which is kind of like a verb).
1. I am (adjective)… in Japanese
- I am _______.
- Watashi wa ______ desu.
- 私は___です。
For the second way, if the adjective is a “na” adjective – look it up on the charts above – then you’ll need to add “na” before “hito.”
2. I am a/an (adjective) person … in Japanese
- I am a _____ person.
- Watashi wa ____ hito desu.
- 私は____人です。
Now, here’s your assignment. What kind of person are you? Find the word in the Japanese adjectives list above. Then, leave me a comment. I read all comments.
Hope you enjoyed this!
