    Example Word

    長い: long. The Japanese adjective '長い (ながい)' means 'long'. It is used to describe something that has a great length or duration. This can refer to physical objects, such as a long rope, or abstract concepts, like a long time. For example: this rope is long「このロープは長い」(このロープはながい). The meeting was long「会議は長かった」(かいぎはながかった). It can also be used metaphorically, such as in '長い話 (ながいはなし)', meaning 'a long story'. Note that when modifying a noun, it is often used in the form '長い + noun', as in '長い道 (ながいみち) (long road)'.
