Changing adjectives to nouns
The word 明るさ pops up in the options panel. This is the noun form of the adjective 明るい. You can change any i-adjectives to a noun by replacing the last い to さ. In English, this is sometimes done by adding -ness at the end of the adjective.
- 高い <-----> 高さ
High <-----> Height
- 美しい <-----> 美しさ
Beautiful <-> Beauty
- 黒い <-------> 黒さ
Black <------> Blackness
For na-adjectives, add a さ after the adjective (without the な)
- 静か <-------> 静かさ
Quiet <------> Quietness
- にぎやか <----> にぎやかさ
Lively <-----> liveliness
