In a sentence

このthisかわriverながい長いlong

This river is long, isn't it

How it works

この (this) attaches directly to かわ (river) to point it out, then (topic) sets the river as the topic. 長いながい (long) is an i-adjective that stands alone as the predicate — no “is” needed. The final (right?) invites agreement, turning a statement into a shared observation.
