It's very hard to explain the word "de"... There are 3 different words like this, used differently and with no equivalents in any other language I can think of... Here, this one is used for adjectival (is that a word? ) phrases.
You put the adjective + de + noun for a description in this form.
It'll get more complicated later xD
