[[Adjective]]s in Japanese use ''okurigana'' to indicate [[Grammatical_tense|tense]] and affirmation/negation, with all adjectives using the same pattern of suffixes for each case. A simple example uses the character "高" (high) to express the four basic cases of a Japanese adjective. The root meaning of the word is expressed via the ''kanji'' ("高", read ''taka'' and meaning "high" in each of these cases), but crucial information (negation and tense) can only be understood by reading the ''okurigana'' following the kanji stem.
