In a sentence

そら空skyはあおい青いblue

The sky is blue

How it works

は (topic) marks 空そら (sky) as the topic — “as for the sky…” — and the adjective 青いあおい (blue) stands on its own as the whole predicate. Japanese い-adjectives don’t need a verb like “is”; 青いあおい (blue) already carries the “it is blue” meaning by itself.
