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.
