Can な Adjectives be also used for combination with verbs


I am new to Japanese and found out that Adjectives can also be used along with
verbs in て forms. I came to know that there are two adjectives い-adj and
な-adj. い is an adjectival verb. Whereas, な is an adjectival noun.

So, my question is whether な-adjectives also in there て form merged/mix with
verbs. Can you give examples please, if possible




Both i-adjectives and na-adjectives **conjugate** in Japanese. The conjugation
form that allows adjectives to modify verbs (and other adjectives) is called
「連用形{れんようけい}」 ("continuative form").

With na-adjectives, the 連用形 comes in the form 「〇〇 **に** 」, which means that
you only need to change the final 「な」 to a 「に」.

しずか **な** 人{ひと} = "a quiet person"

しずか **に** 食{た}べる = "to eat quietly"

Fairly simple, isn't it? You can expect to use this rule all your life, too.

元気{げんき} **な** こども = "a vigorous child"

元気 **に** 生{い}きる = "to live vigorously"

**Please remember that there is no such thing as the te-form for na-
adjectives. Moreover, even with i-adjectives, it is misleading to say that the
te-form modifies verbs**. It is again the 連用形 that modifies verbs for
i-adjectives as well.

For the 連用形 of an i-adjective, simply change the final 「い」 to a 「く」.

うま **い** 歌手{かしゅ} = "a good singer"

うま **く** 歌{うた}う = "to sing well"

It is utterly incorrect to say 「うまく **て** 歌う」 and I certainly hope you did not
learn that it is correct.

高{たか} **い** 空{そら} = "high skies"

高 **く** 飛{と}ぶ = "to fly high"

We never say 「高く **て** 飛ぶ」.
