Mnemonic

いい ii — IRREGULAR i-adjective. Plain form is いい but conjugates from a different stem よ (yo): negative よくない, past よかった, adverbial よく, te-form よくて. The same word writes as 良い yoi (formal). The everyday softener for "good/OK". いいですか? "Is it OK?" is high-frequency.

Quick check

  1. "It was not good" — polite Japanese?
