another help needed....
 

Ok Im at a stage where Japanese is becoming harder and harder >_<

Ok here it is

そこは　きれい　な　へや　です。

It means this room is beautiful.

However, the use of な confuses me....why not just say this instead:

その　へや　は　きれい　です。

Why use な when you can say it like in the second example? (or maybe you cant? :P)

--------

Another example.

たなかさんは　とても　しんせつ　な　先生　です。

Why can't you say:

たなか　先生　は　とても　しんせつ　です。

Thanks , hopefully I can understand. ;)

You don't create a new thread everytime you have a question.

You can't. They are not the same. きれい is a na-adjective, so whenever it modifies a noun, you must use な, for example : きれいな人, 小さな子, 好きな物.

In the second example, you are describing the quality of somebody/something, so you don't use particle な.

Compare :

彼女はきれいです。
She is beautiful. (describing the quality)

彼女はきれいな人です。
She is a beautiful person. (きれい modifies 人, so particle な is used)

The same applies to your last example. Hope that makes sense.

P/S : If you are just going to ask small questions, don't create threads. There are larger threads in this box, where you can ask your questions.

Ok from now on the new questions I will post there, sorry abou tthat

So.....basically the difference is just (using your example)

She is beautiful (explaining the quality/adjective)
AND

She is a beautiful person (explaining the person)?

So.....do I have to say

たなかさんは　とても　しんせつ　な　先生　です。

OR

たなか　先生　は　とても　しんせつ　です。

??

Well, both are okay, but using which one depends heavily on the context. I can only say as much with my level. By the way, you don't use spaces like that in Japanese, but like this :

田中さんはとても親切な先生です。

They both mean roughly the same thing, but the stress is wholly different.

1) Tanaka-san is a kind teacher. Implies Tanaka-san is a) not a teacher by profession and b) compared to other teachers, he is particularly kind. it could even mean that Mr. Tanaka generally comes across as a mean person, but when he acts as a teacher, he is kind.

2) Tanaka sensei is kind. Implies he is kind by nature, and that his kindness is not necessarily related to his role as a teacher. He's also a teacher by profession.

Damn this is crazy hard....

Ok, regarding where to post thread, where can I do it if im not allowed to make new threads?

thank you

One possibility is to ask everything in this thread and let it grow for easy reviewing.

I have a single thread called "KyleGoetz's Thread of Questions" or something like that, where I ask all my questions. You could do the same.

Typically, the practice/rule/custom here on JF is:
1. Simple question or you-specific (think "What does this phrase mean?")—Ask in "your" thread.
2. Complex question or generic question (think "How do you use ~てしまう?")—Ask in a new thread with the title "How do you use 〜てしまう?"

3. one-off quick questions; dump it in the "Japanese Help" thread.
