The regular form of a Japanese adjective always ends with -γ. Such adjectives already have the functionality of the γ copula built into them, meaning they naturally denote the core subject as possessing the attribute.1
Tip
In order to more easily visualise the function built into γ adjectives, imagine the English version of the adjective with an βisβ preceding it.
Examples
- γγγ β is red
- 倧γγ β is big
Example: Tomato is red
γγγγγγγ
