In a sentence

海(うみ)seaは青(あお)いblueです

The sea is blue

How it works

は (topic) raises 海(うみ) (sea) as the topic — “as for the sea…”. The predicate is the i-adjective 青い(あおい) (blue), which already means “is blue” all by itself. The です (is) added after it doesn’t change the meaning; it’s there purely to make the sentence sound polite.
