سوداء

"Black" (feminine).

In a sentence

  • السماء سوداء في الليل.

    The sky is black at night.

    Here, the word 'سوداء' describes the color of the sky, used as an adjective in feminine form to agree with the word 'السماء' (the sky).

  • السيارة الجديدة سوداء اللون.

    The new car is black in color.

    In this sentence, 'سوداء' modifies 'السيارة' (car), which is feminine, emphasizing its black color.

  • اختارت الفتاة الفستان الأسود بدلاً من الأحمر.

    The girl chose the black dress instead of the red one.

    In this case, the feminine word 'سوداء' is not directly used but changes to its masculine form 'أسود' as 'الفستان' (dress) is masculine; this highlights the need for the adjective to align in gender with the noun.
