Someone pointed out that you cannot say Tsukareppoi, but I am fairly sure that you can, although it might be a borderline case. For example you could say: Èñ¾©AgÌà¨æêÁÛ¢ÌÅ èÜ·Ë. Hope this helps somewhat. As for the word yasui being used to describe people, I think that it can be used quite in some cases. tÉÈéÆAÍÔ²ÇÉÈèâ·¢ÌÅ¢Âà}XNð¯ĢܷB ÞÍ ÜèÉàf¼Å¾Üµâ·¢«iµÄ¢éB The thing is that I feel that, probably due to the Japanese tendency for self-effacing, the auxiliary verb is used more often.
