# Supplementary Notes
## Explaining Things about our body
When Explaining things about ours or others body, we should use verbs, instead of い-adj. い-adj is used for describing things, not people.
## Describing Body States
When describing a person's current physical state (like being slim or overweight), it's common to use the `~ている` form of a verb. This describes the result of a change that has occurred and is ongoing. This is different from using a simple い-adjective, which often describes the inherent quality of an object.
- せる -> やせる -> To lose weight
- 瘦せっている -> To exist in a slim state
-
- 太る -> ふとる -> To get fat
- 太っている -> To exist in a state of being fat
- 太い -> ふとい ->
- せる -> やせる -> To become slim
- 痩せている -> (He/She) is slim (existing in a slim state)
- 太る -> ふとる -> To become fat
-っている -> (He/She) is fat (existing in a state of being fat)
Compare this with an い-adjective like `太い` (futoi), which means "thick" or "fat." You would use this for objects or specific body parts, not typically to describe a person's overall state in a polite context.
- e.g., `太い腕` (futoi ude) -> A thick arm.

- **Natural Consequence "When/If" (と)** - *Updated: 2026-01-14*: Used for natural, inevitable consequences. The verb before と is present tense. This form cannot be followed by expressions of will or requests.
- **Special Note**: This pattern is for natural consequences. If you want to express your own will, desire, or make a request after the condition (e.g., using `~たいです`, `~てください`), you should use the `~たら` conditional form instead.
- *Example: 冬になると寒くなります。* (When winter comes, it gets cold.)
- *Example: ボタンを押しますとジュースが出ます。* (When you press the button, juice will come out.)
- **Sequential Action "After" (〜てから)** - *Added: 2025-12-23*: Emphasizes that one action happens only after another is completed.
- *Example: シャワーを浴びてから、ご飯を食べます。* (After I take a shower, I will eat.)
- **Multi-tasking (〜ながら)** - *Added: 2026-01-14*: Connects two actions happening simultaneously. Added to the verb stem (pre-ます form). The second verb is the main action.
- *Example: 音楽を聴きながら、仕事をしています。* (While listening to music, I am working.)
