昔、僕は財布がよくなくしましたが今全然無くしません。でも家で鍵をよくなくしますのでまだ「忘れっぽい」かもしれませんね。

Naming him “Fabrizio” definitely challenged my Katakana reading skills.

thanks for the quick response; i just read the pdf file wrong. I already knew about the adj./adv. distinction, but in the pdf file it says: 私の新しくて
ゴージャスな財布. I failed to notice that くて was simply used to connect the two adjectives.

jackーsan
新しい”new” is an adjective whereas 新しく”newly” is an adverb so 新しい is often used to describe a noun and 新しく is used to describe how the action is done.

新しい　くるま　is ” new car”
新しく　かう　is “buy newly” or “buy new”

1. 新しい　くるまを　かいました。
2. 新しく　くるまを　かいました。
Basically they are saying the same thing. However the 新しい is describing the くるま”car” whereas あたらしく is describing the かいました。
Since 新しく is an adverb and describes an action, you need an action in the sentence. So you CAN NOT say…
×　これは　新しく　くるまです。

I hope it makes sense.

when do you use　新しい compared to 新しく as used in this passage.

VGcat san> Sounds like that’s something that happens to me every…..day

Mihara san> I’m surprised that nowadays many people only know how to “look rough” online where nobody can actually “see” them in person.

I recently entered a chatroom with “Konban wa, mina-an! O-genki desu ka?”
Someone responded, “Are you Japanese? If you are, your Japanese is horrible.”
Another said, “D*** otaku. Always pretending to be Japanese.”

How very polite of them.

I lost my wallet once. I searched my house for hours but, then I looked in my FRONT pocket… and there it was.
