grammar - Is there a difference between 最高の and 最高な?


A dictionary lists 最高 as being both a no-adjective and na-adjective. I've also seen other examples of this. However, is there a difference between using it either form since they're both attached to nouns?




Answer



Basically you should stick to 最高の~. Personally I feel 最高な~ sounds slightly peculiar.


In BCCWJ, there are 2410 examples of 最高の, and only less than 20 examples of 最高な + noun. As for the meaning, I see no difference. All the examples of 最高な + noun in BCCWJ seemed safely interchangeable with 最高の.
