Hair & eyes

Hair and eye colours help you describe people. German usually talks about hair in the plural: die Haare. One eye is das Auge, both are die Augen.

Keep the adjective after sind and it stays simple:

  • Meine Haare sind blond.
  • Seine Augen sind blau.

Colours: blond, braun, schwarz, grau, blau, grün.

Tip

Hair is usually plural in German: Die Haare SIND braun. (Mein Haar ist braun is also correct, just less common.)
