कमीज़ सफ़ेद है।

In Hindi, a very common pattern for simple statements is:

noun + adjective/complement + है

So:

• कमीज़ = shirt
• सफ़ेद = white
• है = is

That gives कमीज़ सफ़ेद है = The shirt is white.

You can put the adjective before the noun in other contexts, for example:

• सफ़ेद कमीज़ = a white shirt / the white shirt

But if you want a full sentence meaning The shirt is white, Hindi normally uses कमीज़ सफ़ेद है.

है is the present-tense form of the verb to be for he/she/it/this/that and for singular nouns.

So in this sentence, है means is.

• कमीज़ सफ़ेद है = The shirt is white

A very useful comparison:

• मैं खुश हूँ = I am happy
• वह खुश है = He/She is happy

So हूँ goes with I, while है goes with singular third-person subjects and singular nouns like कमीज़.

Because सफ़ेद is an invariable adjective in Hindi. That means it usually stays the same regardless of gender and number.

So you get:

• सफ़ेद कमीज़ = white shirt
• सफ़ेद कपड़ा = white cloth
• सफ़ेद जूते = white shoes

The adjective does not change here.

This is different from variable adjectives like अच्छा, which do change:

• अच्छा लड़का = good boy
• अच्छी कमीज़ = good shirt
• अच्छे लड़के = good boys

So the reason is simple: सफ़ेद belongs to the group of adjectives that do not show agreement in form.

Yes, कमीज़ is a feminine noun in Hindi.

Unfortunately, you often just have to learn a noun’s gender as part of the word. Hindi gender is not always predictable from meaning.

A good strategy is to learn nouns together with an agreeing adjective or verb, for example:

• नई कमीज़ = new shirt
  Here नई shows feminine agreement.

That helps you remember that कमीज़ is feminine.

In your sentence, you cannot tell from सफ़ेद, because सफ़ेद does not change form.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• कमीज़ ≈ kuh-MEEZ
• सफ़ेद ≈ suh-FED
• है ≈ hai (like heh or hai, depending on accent and speed)

A slightly more careful breakdown:

• क = k
• मी = mee
• ज़ = z

and

• स = s
• फ़े = fe
• द = d

So the whole sentence is roughly:

kuh-MEEZ suh-FED hai

Actual pronunciation varies a bit by region and speaking style.

Those dots are called nukta marks. They are used in Devanagari to represent sounds borrowed from Persian, Arabic, and other languages.

In this sentence:

• ज़ = z
• फ़ = f

So:

• कमीज़ has a z sound at the end
• सफ़ेद has an f sound

Without the nukta:

• ज would be more like j
• फ is traditionally an aspirated ph sound, though in modern Hindi many speakers pronounce it like f anyway

In everyday writing, you may sometimes see these words written without the nukta, but the spelling with nukta is more precise.

In standard Hindi, for a normal complete sentence like this, you should keep है.

So the standard form is:

• कमीज़ सफ़ेद है।

If you say just:

• कमीज़ सफ़ेद।

it may sound incomplete, headline-like, poetic, or very casual in a nonstandard way.

So for learners, the best rule is:

Don’t omit है in simple present-tense sentences like this.

Yes. That would mean:

• यह कमीज़ सफ़ेद है = This shirt is white

Adding यह makes the subject more explicit.

Compare:

• कमीज़ सफ़ेद है = The shirt is white / A shirt is white, depending on context
• यह कमीज़ सफ़ेद है = This shirt is white
• वह कमीज़ सफ़ेद है = That shirt is white

Hindi often leaves out words like this, that, or the when the context already makes them clear.

Hindi does not have articles exactly like English a/an and the.

So कमीज़ can mean:

• a shirt
• the shirt

The exact meaning depends on context.

For example:

• कमीज़ सफ़ेद है could mean The shirt is white
• In another context, it might be understood as A shirt is white

If you want to be more specific, Hindi usually uses context, word order, or demonstratives like:

• यह = this
• वह = that

Yes, कमीज़ is a common and normal Hindi word for shirt.

You may also hear:

• शर्ट = shirt

That is a direct borrowing from English and is also very common in modern Hindi.

The exact choice can depend on region, style, and speaker preference. In many everyday situations, both are understood easily. कमीज़ is a standard native/established word, while शर्ट is also widely used in speech.
