I am looking for the adjective jōzu / boozy in my Takoboto dictionary, to
learn further information, or its kanji, but cannot find it.

Can someone help me develop a strategy for looking up and finding adjectives
in a dictionary?

Can't find adjective in dictionary
The adjective is actually spelled as jouzu in the dictionary. As with many oo
combinations, one has to try on as well, as per [this
post.](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/39927/18183)

Learn Hepburn romanization if you want to use romaji. Your textbook uses a
non-standard type of romanization. Better yet, just learn the kana. The word
is 上手｛じょうず｝.
