okay lets say you got a sentence "it is adorable"
that would be " kawaii desu"
desu is the state of being ??? I'm bad at explaining
The Japanese word desu is a copula: a word that links the subject of a sentence with the verb.[1] A close English approximation of this would be the words “this (that, he, she, it, etc) is” unless it’s coupled with an adjective or a verb. Regardless of how it is used, its main function is to end sentences intended to be a statement. Due to the grammatical structure in Japanese, desu and verb tenses are used at the end of a sentence or phrase. (ex. “This is Sushi” would be translated into “Kore wa sushi desu.” and “I like Sushi” would be “Sushi ga suki desu”)
Other Japanese copulas are da, de, wa, na, and more. The form desu is essentially the same as da except that it is used in a casual, but still polite or proper context.
this has many complicated uses in speech, but basically it's a polite modifier, and is a more casual form of "de gozaimasu". See a grammar dictionary for how to properly translate "desu", I could never explain it properly
