Using the word "Unique" in Isolation


I am wonder about using the word "unique" in isolation. Would this be written
as ユニーク or ユニークな.

Sorry or the lack of explanation. I am looking to print this on a tshirt, and
would like it to read "unique". In terms of "something unique". The brand is
called 'One of One' and the meaning behind this is to express yourself and be
yourself "unique".

I have translated this and come up with results which both include な and those
that leave it off of the end of the word.

My question is if I should include the な on the end of the word as I have read
that it is normally used to imply negativity when added to verbs. But in this
case I am unsure of how to approach a single adjective. I tried to do some
research and could not find a complete answer. Thanks in advance.




In this case, you can just omit な at the end and put only ユニーク on the shirt.
This な forms an attributive form, i.e., な is only used to modify the following
noun. The concept of ユニーク itself can be conveyed without な. For now, [な after
a verb](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/33097/5010) is not relevant,
either.

(FWIW, ユニーク in Japanese tends to have a bit sarcastic implication. Saying "I
am ユニーク" can imply you are a peculiar person. You may be interested in the
word [個性](https://jisho.org/search/%E5%80%8B%E6%80%A7), which is a simple noun
and have a more positive connotation.)
