The adjective infinitive often modifies other verb and
adjective forms without any particle—this is similar to the
ADVERB use of nouns without particles:
Samuku narimashita.
It got cold.
Hayaku aruite kudasai.
Please walk fast.
Kami o mijikaku shimashita.
I made my hair short.
The infinitive yoku (-ii ‘is good’) has three slightly different
meanings: ‘well; often; a lot’:
Yoku narimashita.
He got well.
Ame ga yoku furimasu.
