So that + adjective?


How would you translate something like “so that you are/can be X”?

I bought this so that he’ll be safe.

I want to do this for you so that you’re happy!




Like mentioned in the comments you would use ように/ために. As for the question of
how to combine this with adjectives and the copula you would normally use the
adverbial form of the word in question. For example:

> 彼が安全にいられるようにこれを買った  
>
>
> 美味しくするために塩を入れた

For the copula you can use である (which is another form of the copula) but I
think in most cases なる and いる does the job better
