7 高い Tall

  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

Tall

Alternatives

High, Expensive

Word Type

い adjective

Explanation

This is a single kanji with an い on the end, meaning you know it's probably an adjective. What's the adjective form of tall or expensive? It's the same: tall or expensive.

Weird that this word means both of these things, yeah? Just imagine money piled up to be really tall. That money is tall because it needs to buy something expensive.

Reading

たかい

Explanation

Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You didn't learn that reading with this kanji, so here's a mnemonic to help you:

There's a tall dude trying to sell you something really expensive. He's really going off on how great this item is and how you should buy it. This guy is a real salesman. A real talker (たか).

Context

Context Sentences

この店は、高いですがおいしいです。

This restaurant is expensive, but delicious.
