Why is kirei not kireina?

Not saying you're wrong or anything. I'm just wondering.

@modelqueen13 - Because "na" is a modifying particle used for certain adjectives only when they are in front of a noun. If she were saying "(the) beautiful woman" it would be "きれいな女の人". When kirei and other "na" particles do no directly proceed a noun, you don't use na.

Oh ok thanks for the explanation.
