I have just started another Turkish course and thought I might post some basic exercises I was given, and then give my answers and any explanations

This exercise is about matching descriptions to pictures, but unfortunately I can´t show you the pictures.

İnceleyelim (let´s study)

1 Sarışın, sevimli bir kız. Yüzü çilli. Üzerinde çizgili bir tişört var.

Sarışın, sevimli bir kız.

A cute blonde girl.

That sentence had no verbs, it was just a description. Note the other adjectives precede the word ´bir´, so the meaning is ´a´. If ´bir´ was at the start (before the other adjectives), then the meaning would be ´one´. You can also recognise ´sarı´ (yellow) in the word for blonde.

Yüzü çilli.

Her face is freckled.

The possessive suffıx ´u´ tells us that the face belongs to someone, and from the previous sentence we can deduce it must be ´her´ face, because we saw ´girl´ written. The sentence could also be written as Onun yüzü çillidir and the meaning is identical. The ´dir´ suffix is often left off in daily usage, but still used on official signs. (.... yasaktır = it is forbidden to ....)  Çil means freckle with humans. Çil+ li (with) = with freckles, freckled

Üzerinde çizgili bir tişört var.

She has a striped t-shirt on top.

Var means there is/are but because the sentence is describing the same girl, we say she has. Çizgi means stripe.
