遠い (tooi) means "far" or "distant." As an い-adjective, it describes a large distance between two points, indicating something is not close. It's the opposite of "近い" (chikai). For example, "私の家は学校から遠いです。" (Watashi no ie wa gakkou kara tooi desu.) means "My house is far from school."

「遠い(とおい)」は距離(きょり)が長い(ながい)時(とき)に使い(つかい)ます。例：私(わたし)の家(いえ)は遠い(とおい)です。
