Meaning

Primary

Long

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 long? It's also long.

Reading

ながい

  • Kyoko(Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi(Tokyo accent, male)

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:

You have something that's really long. It's this crazy hair growing out of the tip of your nose. You don't really care either way if it stays or goes, but you're too lazy to cut it off. Your parents, though, keep trying to nag (なが) you to trim it. Imagine this process happening and be irritated about it. What naggers.

Context

Context Sentences

長い距離のランニングを避けるため、自分の足の骨を折ってしまおうと思っている。
