"古い" meaning in Japanese

Adjective

IPA: [ɸɯ̟ᵝɾɯ̟ᵝi]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. Attested in the Man'yōshū completed in 759. In turn, derived from verb 旧る (furu, “to age, to become older”, said of both things and people) + し (shi, Old and Classical Japanese adjective-forming suffix), with the verb itself also attested in the Man'yōshū. The modern form furui emerged as a regular shift from furuki, the 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive form”) of classical adjective 古し (furushi). ⟨puruki₁⟩ → */purukʲi/ → /furui/ Etymology templates: {{inh|ja|ojp|-}} Old Japanese, {{m|ja|旧る||to age, to become older|pos=said of both things and people|tr=furu}} 旧る (furu, “to age, to become older”, said of both things and people), {{m|ja|し|pos=Old and Classical Japanese adjective-forming suffix|tr=shi}} し (shi, Old and Classical Japanese adjective-forming suffix), {{m|ja|連体形||attributive form|tr=rentaikei}} 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive form”), {{m|ja|古し|tr=furushi}} 古し (furushi), {{IPAfont|⟨puruki₁⟩}} ⟨puruki₁⟩, {{IPAfont|/purukʲi/}} /purukʲi/, {{IPAfont|/furui/}} /furui/ Head templates: {{ja-adj|ふるい|infl=i}} 古(ふる)い • (furui) -i (adverbial 古(ふる)く (furuku)) Inflection templates: {{ja-adj-infl|adverbial=く|attributive=い|conditional=ければ|conjunctive=くて|continuative=く|degree=さ|formal=い です|formal_negative=く ない です|formal_negative_past=く なかった です|formal_past=かった です|hypothetical=けれ|imperative=かれ|imperfective=かろ|informal_negative=く ない|informal_negative_past=く なかった|informal_past=かった|kana=ふる|lemma=古|provisional=かったら|terminal=い|volitional=かろう}}, {{ja-conj-bungo|ふる|adj-ku}} Forms: 古い [canonical] (ruby: (ふる)), furui [romanization], 古く [adverbial] (ruby: (ふる)), no-table-tags [table-tags], 古かろ [imperfective, stem], ふるかろ [imperfective, stem], furukaro [imperfective], 古く [continuative, stem], ふるく [continuative, stem], furuku [continuative], 古い [stem, terminative], ふるい [stem, terminative], furui [terminative], 古い [attributive, stem], ふるい [attributive, stem], furui [attributive], 古けれ [hypothetical, stem], ふるけれ [hypothetical, stem], furukere [hypothetical], 古かれ [imperative, stem], ふるかれ [imperative, stem], furukare [imperative], 古くない [informal, negative], ふるくない [informal, negative], furuku nai [informal, negative], 古かった [informal, past], ふるかった [informal, past], furukatta [informal, past], 古くなかった [informal, negative, past], ふるくなかった [informal, negative, past], furuku nakatta [informal, negative, past], 古いです [formal], ふるいです [formal], furui desu [formal], 古くないです [formal, negative], ふるくないです [formal, negative], furuku nai desu [formal, negative], 古かったです [formal, past], ふるかったです [formal, past], furukatta desu [formal, past], 古くなかったです [formal, negative, past], ふるくなかったです [formal, negative, past], furuku nakatta desu [formal, negative, past], 古くて [conjunctive], ふるくて [conjunctive], furukute [conjunctive], 古ければ [conditional], ふるければ [conditional], furukereba [conditional], 古かったら [conditional, past], ふるかったら [conditional, past], furukattara [conditional, past], 古かろう [volitional], ふるかろう [volitional], furukarō [volitional], 古く [adverbial], ふるく [adverbial], furuku [adverbial], 古さ [noun-from-adj], ふるさ [noun-from-adj], furusa [noun-from-adj], no-table-tags [table-tags], 古く [irrealis, stem], 古から [irrealis, stem], ふるく [irrealis, stem], ふるから [irrealis, stem], furuku [irrealis], furukara [irrealis], 古く [continuative, stem], 古かり [continuative, stem], ふるく [continuative, stem], ふるかり [continuative, stem], furuku [continuative], furukari [continuative], 古し [stem, terminative], ふるし [stem, terminative], furusi [terminative], 古き [attributive, stem], 古かる [attributive, stem], ふるき [attributive, stem], ふるかる [attributive, stem], furuki [attributive], furukaru [attributive], 古けれ [realis, stem], ふるけれ [realis, stem], furukere [realis], 古かれ [imperative, stem], ふるかれ [imperative, stem], furukare [imperative], 古からず [negative], ふるからず [negative], furukarazu [negative], 古けれど [contrastive], ふるけれど [contrastive], furukeredo [contrastive], 古ければ [causative], ふるければ [causative], furukereba [causative], 古くば [conditional], ふるくば [conditional], furukuba [conditional], 古かりき [past], ふるかりき [past], furukariki [past], 古かりけり [past], ふるかりけり [past], furukarikeri [past], 古く [adverbial], ふるく [adverbial], furuku [adverbial]

Attested in the Man'yōshū completed in 759.\nIn turn, derived from verb 旧る (furu, “to age, to become older”, said of both things and people) + し (shi, Old and Classical Japanese adjective-forming suffix), with the verb itself also attested in the Man'yōshū.\nThe modern form furui emerged as a regular shift from furuki, the 連体形 (rentaikei, “attributive form”) of classical adjective 古し (furushi).\n⟨puruki₁⟩ → */purukʲi/ → /furui/",
