-## Easy and Difficult // ~やすい & ~にくい
+---
 
-To express that something is easy or difficult to do, you can stick ~やすい (easy) or ~にくい (difficult) at the end of the verb. The verb has to be in stem form, so take the verb, conjugate it to ~ます form, and then cut off the ます, and stick ~やすい or ~にくい at the end to express what you want to say.
+## ~やすい & ~にくい — Easy and Difficult to Do
+
+Attach to the **verb stem** (ます-form minus ます) to say something is easy or difficult to do. Both conjugate like い-adjectives.
+
+> **Verb stem + やすい** — easy to [verb]
+> **Verb stem + にくい** — difficult to [verb]
