More i-adjectives

Many i-adjectives at this level say how something feels to the senses or how it strikes you: 硬(かた)い, ぬるい, 臭(くさ)い, 騒(さわ)がしい. Several lead a second, figurative life that English gives to a different word — 偉(えら)い is high-ranking and also "well done", 詳(くわ)しい is a detailed map and a person who knows a lot. A few are set phrases built on ない, such as 仕方(しかた)ない and 間違(まちが)いない, and they inflect like any other i-adjective: 仕方(しかた)なかった.
