In a sentence

新幹線(しんかんせん)bullet trainは速(はや)いfastよ

The bullet train is fast!

How it works

は (topic) sets 新幹線(しんかんせん) (the bullet train) as the topic — "as for the bullet train…". The i-adjective 速い(はやい) (fast) can finish a sentence all on its own, with no copula needed. The final よ (you know) adds emphasis, like telling the listener something they may not realize.
