In a sentence

空(そら)skyは青(あお)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.
