In a sentence

このthis川(かわ)riverは長(なが)いlongね

This river is long, isn't it

How it works

この (this) attaches directly to 川(かわ) (river) to point it out, then は (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 ね (right?) invites agreement, turning a statement into a shared observation.
