So, I'd say "i-adj" and "state-related verbal nouns" (since one says 自慢する without need for "を"). Try to build sentences, and see which ones make sense. If you have a counter example, please share, I couldn't think of one. | |

Nouns part.

| Jul 7, 2011 at 8:34 | comment | added | Axioplase | @sawa: that's why I had emphasized "you should've seen me". To convey the idea that this joy was visible. (I like my example to be extreme) | |

Your explanation is somewhat to the point, but I don't think your second example goes with that meaning. げ indicates that the manner in question is observed from some other person. 楽しく 'happily' vs. 楽しげに 'seemingly happily'.
