What is the difference between usui and usude? Both means thin?
There is a song lyrics like that: Usude no shatsu jama da/薄手のシャツ邪魔だ
And why they put 'no' after usude?
Thank you!

"Usude (no) " is mainly (or maybe almost solely) used for cloth and clothing, meaning thin and light. "Usui" is generally "thin," for a lot of things.
Actually in Japanese "usude" is a NOUN meaning "thinly made/thin making," so you need to add "no" to make it function as an adjective.

Yes, "usude" is a noun, and "usude no" ("of thin make") makes it function like an adjective.

The noun of "usui" is "ususa"=thinness.
"usude", is "look or feel of thinness" . The opposite is "atsude".
