I don't understand why suki is followed by "da" (だ) in the first example:
（１） ボブは魚が好きだ。- Bob likes fish.
But then in this example it is followed by "na" (な):
（１） 魚が好きなタイプ。- Type that likes fish.
I thought "da" is the state of being declarative, so I must be understanding something incorrectly. The second example makes sense to me because it's followed by "na" and it is a "na" adjective in its non-negative and non-past tense state.
Can someone explain this so I understand better?
Thank you!
