It’s not indicated on the video thatt this is the informal negative form. The lesson notes do say this but I think it should be part of the title.

Hahaha so in a previous lesson, you taught that “ii” becomes “yokunai” when making it past tense. and I was wondering why they did that. Then I realized that “ikunai” and “ikanai” would sound VERY similar haha so that is why they made “ikunai” into “yokunai”. I guess that makes it very easy to remember ^-^

Nick-san,
Good! :mrgreen:
By the way, “yokunai” is not the past tense, but it’s negative form of “ii” :wink:
