EI - irregular
OI
AI OU + GOZARU
II UU + GOZARU
UI UU + GOZARU
EI – DE GOZARU
OI OU + GOZARU
Examples:
1.akai akou + gozaru = akou gozaimasu
2.atarashii atarashuu + gozaru = atarashuu gozaimasu
3.boroi borou + gozaru = borou gozaimasu
4.furui furuu + gozaru = furuu gozaimasu
that is to say any ai ending adjective will turn to long o - o^ ou
The best example of this is hayai. Hayai ends in ai therefore changing the ai into long o we have hayou gozaimasu just like the phrase "good morning" o-hayou gozaimasu
hope this helps.
