In Japanese, you use the word なる to indicate the change of adjective status. In this sense, なる means "become" or "get" <Example Sentences> さいきん さむく なりました。 It has become cold recently. *さいきん means "recently" *さむい→さむく ビッグマック が たかく なりました。 Bigmac got expensive. *たかい→たかく わたし の ちち は げんきに なりました。 My father became healthy. *げんき→げんきに にほんご の べんきょう が すきに なりました。 I have become to like studying Japanese. *すき→すきに *For い-adjectives, the final い is replaced with く to connect with なる *For な-adjectives, you need to add に to connect with なる *Please be careful not to apply a な-adjective conjugation rule to an い-adjective.
