If you add the doubled ending يّ to a noun, you can get an "Arabic adjective".For example:
لَـبَـنٌ - لَـبَنِــيٌّ Milk - milky
خَشَبٌِ - خَشَبِــيٌّ Wood - wooden
مَكْتَبٌ خَشَبِــيٌّ Wooden table
This is how you can form colors, (more details in the previous article)
بُـرْتُـقَالٌ - بُـرْتُـقَالِــيٌّ Orange (fruit) - orange (color)
Examples with يا النسب in the abjective (الصِّفَة) role
البَيْتُ البُـرْتُـقَالِيُّ على هذا الشارعِ The orange house on this street
السَّيَارَةُ البُـرْتُـقَالِيَّةُ أَمَامَ بَـيْـتِـي The orange car in front of my house
The feminine gender is formed standardly (by adding ة)
الذهَبِــيُّ الذهبِــيَّــةُ Gold
عندي الفِكْرَةُ الذَّهَبِــيَّــةُ I have a golden idea
