In a sentence

あのthatやま山mountainはたかい高いtallね

That mountain is tall, isn't it

How it works

は (topic) raises 山やま (mountain) as the topic — “as for that mountain…”. The adjective 高いたかい (tall) then describes it and ends the sentence on its own; plain い (い-adjective)-adjectives need no です (is), so it sounds casual. The pointing word あの (that) sits up front because it modifies the noun. Final ね (right?) invites agreement — “it’s tall, isn’t it?”
