Yonsu-san, Chryuop-san,
Sorry, my checking was too loose. "KAWAII DA" or "TAKAI DA" would not be used usually.
However, I also will not use "TAKAI DESU" or "KAWAII DESU" because "TAKAI" and "KAWAII" are to be finish form or followed by noun. I hesitate to use "KAWAII DESU" or "TAKAI DESU" because "DESU" sounds unnaturally added to already completed sentense to give polite form in these cases.
On the other hand, it sound natural to say "KAWAII DESU NE" or "TAKAI DESU NE". hmmm, it is dificult to find generarl rules.
"NE" is used to ask listener (somtime including talker himself) to agree. "NE!" alone often used as "DO you agree?". (Sorry, I did not check all cases)
Thank you for your pointing out.
RK
