So, you can use the "te-iru" form and say ぽっちゃりしている子 or きちんとしている文章 as it indicates the present condition. But, the past tense is usually used in this case, like やせた人 (= やせている人) or　ふとった人 (ふとっている人) :wink: ヤドカリさん、

Anyway, it was a really useful lesson I think. I've also been in the exact same position, trying to explain that all those girls in the magazine I'm reading are actually boys...:mrgreen: Haha, I thought I was hallucinating when this podcast starts talking about v-kei…never seen or heard anything about that in “normal” japanese classes before.

is working in this sentence?
ぽっちゃりした子ほうがいいな
i also saw it before in this sentence from Mother’s Talk lesson
きちんとした文章じゃないと
so shita is its own word, different from 下 or 舌, that turns things into adjectives?
does it have any other grammatical uses?

also i think i heard 焼いた as well for suntanned..　is 焼いた　more like sunburned?
could one say
焼いた肌はかっこいい
?

Both actions are blind-minded.可笑しいですね。 boys should be aware that many intelligent men are with little muscle and girls should trust their own judgement instead of copying others' choice in blind.自分の判断を信じてください.:roll: 私もがりがりな男です。:razz: boys always want to have big muscle lumps just because other boys have it, and girls always like muscular boys just because others say that muscular boys are better than scrawny ones.
