遠い
とおい · tooi · JLPT N5 · i-adj
far
🗼 tooi sounds like too-ee: too far to walk, too-ee far away
The long oo in tooi stretches out like a long distance: the vowel itself takes extra time to finish. Kanji 遠 has the road radical 辶, the walking component found in many travel and distance words, so road + long robe = a long way to go.
