In a sentence

雪(ゆき)snowは白(しろ)いwhite

Snow is white

How it works

は (topic) lifts up 雪(ゆき) (snow) as the topic — "as for snow…" — and then describes it. The i-adjective 白い(しろい) (white) stands on its own at the end and acts as the whole predicate; no "is" word is needed, because the adjective already carries it.
