    This document provides examples of short casual verb and adjective endings in Japanese. For masu-verbs, the short casual form typically ends in "u", "ru", "kuru" (come), or "suru" (do). Exceptions include "arimasen" becoming "nai". For desu-verbs involving nouns, the short casual form uses just the noun or noun+da rather than the full masu form. For i-adjectives, the short casual form is just the adjective itself without "desu". When negating i-adjectives, the "i" is removed and conjugated with "ku nai" or "ku arimasen".
