English to Japanese

The plural is normally the same as the singular in Japanese. In general, Japanese
descriptive words, or adjectives, may change depending on how they are used.
Some of these adjectives are followed by (no) or (na). If a noun is used following
such a word, then the no or na must be put after the adjective: kanojo wa kireh desu
(she is pretty); kanojo wa kireh na jyoseh desu (she is a pretty girl).
