It’s ”vit” for en-words, ”vitt” for ett- words and ”vita” in the plural.
- En vit stol. (A white chair.)
- Stolen är vit. (The chair is white.)
- Ett vitt bord. (A white table.)
- Bordet är vitt. (The table is white.)
- Mina vita bord. (My white tables.)
- Dina vita stolar. (Your white chairs.)
This is the general pattern for adjectives, compare:
- En normal stol.
- Ett normalt bord.
- Mina normala stolar.
Many words are just something one has to learn, sadly.
"Svart" is for both en-words and ett-words in singular form. "En svart bil." - A black car. "Ett svart hus." - A black house.
"Svarta" is used for plurals and if you are specific about an object. "Den svarta bilen." - The black car. "Det svarta huset." - The black house. "De svarta katterna." - The black cats.
