Usage notes
[edit]
  • Most often written in this form. The kanji spelling良い is generally reserved for moreformal writing.
  • This form does notinflect — it is only used in the終止形(shūshikei,terminal form) and連体形(rentaikei,attributive form) ofii. All other grammatical forms are based on良い(yoi). Compare the連用形(ren’yōkei,continuative or adverbial form)yoku or the過去形(kakokei,past tense)yokatta; there is no *iku or *ikatta form.
  • In ironic usages denoting “verybad” or “embarrassing”, this form is preferred to theyoi form.
