How do you formulate the 連用中止 with 形容動詞 (な adjectives) and 名詞 (nouns)?


According to my textbook, verb and i-adjective sentences can be chained with
the 連用中止【れんようちゅうし】 form like this:

Later on, I came across this exercise where I'm required to replace the
adjectives' endings by the corresponding 連用中止. But I do not know how to turn
静かで into 連用中止 in the following sentence:

> 北海道【ほっかいどう】の7月の海は、深【ふか】 **く、** 青【あお】 **く、** 静【しず】か **___、** 絵のように美しかった。

Is this feasible? What about sentences that end with a noun?

Thank you very much




No, you cannot omit で after 静か. As your textbook clearly says, this grammar is
about verbs and **_i_** -adjectives.

> 北海道の7月の海は、深く、青く、静か **で** 、絵のように美しかった。

See: [いAdjective. difference between くて and
く](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/3439/5010)

**EDIT:** You can also use copula-like である and say "深く、青く、静か **であり**
、絵のように美しかった", too.

You may see two na-adjectives connected without a particle ("簡単、便利なチャットアプリ"
instead of "簡単で便利なチャットアプリ"), but this is another story.
