JMdict 1217730

In a sentence

顔(かお)faceが赤(あか)いredよ

Your face is red

How it works

が (subject) marks 顔(かお) (face) as the subject, and the i-adjective 赤い(あかい) (red) works as the whole predicate — no copula needed after an i-adjective. The casual よ (you know) flags new information, like pointing it out to the other person.
