Can't find adjective in dictionary


I am looking for the adjective jōzu / boozy in my Takoboto dictionary, to
learn further information, or its kanji, but cannot find it.

Can someone help me develop a strategy for looking up and finding adjectives
in a dictionary?

Learn Hepburn romanization if you want to use romaji. Your textbook uses a
non-standard type of romanization. Better yet, just learn the kana. The word
is 上手｛じょうず｝.




The adjective is actually spelled as jouzu in the dictionary. As with many oo
combinations, one has to try on as well, as per [this
