Describe clothes by color, then turn a simple description into a phrase before a noun. Notice this example: „Die Jacke ist blau.“






The idea
After sein, a color stays unchanged: Die Jacke ist blau. Before a noun, endings matter: die blaue Jacke.
| Wort / Ausdruck | Form / Gebrauch |
|---|---|
| die Jacke, die Jacken | blau |
| der Pullover, die Pullover | grün |
| die Hose, die Hosen | schwarz |
| das Hemd, die Hemden | weiß |
| das Kleid, die Kleider | gelb |
| der Rock, die Röcke | rot |
| der Schuh, die Schuhe | braun |
| der Mantel, die Mäntel | grau |
| die Mütze, die Mützen | orange |
Examples
- Die Jacke ist blau.
- Ich suche einen grünen Pullover.
- Diese Schuhe sind bequem.
- Die rote Tasche gehört Lea.
- Meine Hose ist schwarz.
- Trägst du heute einen Mantel?

Watch out
A plural ending and an adjective ending do different jobs; learn Schuhe separately from blaue Schuhe.
