Example Word
高い: high or expensive. The Japanese adjective '高い (たかい)' has two primary meanings: 'high' and 'expensive'. When used to mean 'high', it describes something that is elevated in position or degree, such as a mountain or a level of skill. For example: The mountain is high「山が高い」(やまがたかい). When used to mean 'expensive', it refers to something that costs a lot of money. For example: This bag is expensive「このバッグは高い」(このバッグはたかい). The context in which '高い' is used will determine its meaning, so it's important to pay attention to the surrounding words and sentences.
