is this true?

I’m working on い and な adjectives.
i know the pattern of it : X is A(い adjective)and B (いadjective)

and な adjectives have the same way.

but is it true to say like : X is A(い adj.) and B(な adj.) ?

here’s an illustration:
私はかわいてくきれいです(I’m cute(which is “い adj”) and beautiful (which isな adj) ?

  1. Yes. The て form allows you to link adjectives to describe something or someone as X *and* Y *and* Z, and so on and so forth. It’s not restricted to adjectives of the same group. Both have て forms.

  2. Did you mean to type かわいくて?

    Anyway I’m not sure I completely understand your post but it’s:

    – かわいい＋きれい＝かわいくてきれい(です/だ)
    – きれい＋かわいい＝きれいでかわいい(です)

    You can have any combination of い-adjectives, な-adjectives, nouns and verbs. The rule is that the first one changes to て-form (the て-form of a な-adjective is its stem + で, that of い-adjectives is stem + くて).

  3. Yours should be 私は かわい__くて__ きれい です

    And you can connect na-adjectives with subsequent words using で: 私は きれい**で** かわいい です

    きれいな becomes きれいで when you’re connecting it. It’s something like the -て form of a na-adjective. Example:

    Xは きれい**で** すきです = “X is pretty and so [I] like it”

  4. かわい*くて*きれいです is perfectly correct, but a Japanese person would be more humble. These words would most likely be about someone else.
