Dec 4, 2022 at 12:57 comment added Manab @EddieKal I don't think it's safe calling 好きだ 基本. When it comes to 形容動詞 there are quite a lot of questions online asking whether or not 終止形 and 基本形 are the same the term for them. It seems to depend on what you consider since たり and なり are abbreviated in the dictionaries. 終止形 is safer . detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q12174016672

Dec 4, 2022 at 3:08 comment added Eddie Kal @George That's a very interesting question. This is what I found so far: 「日本語の品詞の一つ。「静かだ」「親切だ」のように,用言の一種で,意味上は形容詞に近く,活用の点では動詞に似たところがあるものを,全体で1語と認め,形容動詞と呼ぶ。」 So they are close to adjectives in meaning but shares conjugative features in common with verbs.
Dec 4, 2022 at 1:52 comment added George Do you know why na-adjectives are referred to as "形容動詞" ("form-contains-movement-part-of-speech", according to its Kanji), when just the words themselves don't contain any "movement" at all, and more noun-like than verb-like. Or is the "movement" the "conjugations" that the nouns can take, including for example adding な?
