Explanation

Dark mainly refers to the absence of light, making it hard to see. For example, a dark room means little or no light is present. It can also describe colours that are deep or not bright, like dark blue. Beyond physical light, dark can describe moods, feelings, or situations that are negative, mysterious, or scary (a dark story, dark thoughts). Sometimes, dark is used symbolically to represent sadness, secrecy, or danger. The word is flexible and appears often in daily life, whether about time of day (dark night), appearance, or emotions.
