woman or girl with dark hair
A woman or girl who has dark brown or almost black hair.
ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ:
[someone] is a brunette
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes think 'brunette' can be used for men in standard English. While it can refer to any dark-haired person in some contexts, it is much more common for women and girls; for men, 'dark-haired man' or simply 'dark-haired' is more usual. Learners also confuse 'brunette' with 'brown' and may say *'She is brown'* to talk about hair color, which is incorrect; you should say 'She has brown hair' or 'She is a brunette.'

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ:
[someone] has brunette hair
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes use 'brunette' only before a noun, like *'a brunette hair girl.'* This is incorrect. You should say 'a brunette girl' or 'a girl with brunette hair.' Also, 'brunette' is not normally used for things other than hair or people; it sounds odd to say *'a brunette dog'* or *'a brunette table.'*
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
dark-haired (Very close in meaning but more general; does not suggest specifically brown versus black.)
|
brown-haired (Emphasizes clearly brown hair; less commonly used in everyday speech than 'brunette'.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
blonde (Describes very light or yellowish hair, often contrasted directly with brunette hair.)
|
fair-haired (Describes light-colored hair; broader and slightly more literary than 'blonde'.)

ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
dark brown (A general color term; does not carry the association with hair that 'brunette' often has.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
light blonde (A very light hair color, often considered the visual opposite of deep brunette shades.)
