～て (Adjectives and Nouns)

The て form of an い-Adjective, or で form of a noun (or な-Adjective) is exactly the same as the て form of a verb, in that it carries the meaning of 'and', and is used for linking. It will allow us to list multiple qualities/traits of something.

For い-Adjectives, we will need to change the last い to く (the form used for conjugation), and then simply add て.

For nouns and な-Adjectives, we will need to add で to the base form (not な or だ).

It should be noted that て and で are different structures here. て is the same conjunction particle that is used with verbs (meaning that い-Adjectives are similar to verbs), while で is actually a form of だ that is used for conjugation. It is the same で as the one that is used in the formal version of だ, である. Which we will learn later.
