用法筆記

Used almost always of people, not animals. For animals, 'dark-furred' or simply 'black' sounds more natural. In predicative position (e.g. 'she is dark-haired'), the hyphen is usually retained. The compound is neutral in register — suitable for both casual conversation and formal descriptions.

常見錯誤

❌She is a dark hair girl.
✅She is a dark-haired girl.
💡'hair' is a plain noun; the compound adjective needs the '-ed' suffix plus hyphen.
