For the Canadians, can you support "eh?" instead of "isn't it?"...? ;)

      Why do we use いい here and not よく？

        よく is an adverb, the corresponding adjective is よい or いい (it is handy to remember that いい is originally よい when you conjugate it).

          Excuse me, would you please elaborate "remember that いい is originally よい when you conjugate it". I don't follow. Thanks ^_^

            よい is the original word for "good", but it turned into いい

              「今日は天気がよいですね。」is the original sentence, which is used for writings and formal situations. In conversation you'll hear 「いいですね」 a lot more often. 「よいです。」is the opposite of 「わるいです。」

                いい is an irregular adjective

                いい - it is good いかった - it was good よくない - it is not good よくなかった - it wasn't good

                  "Weather today is good isn't it?" Pretty depressing that isn't allowed either
