In a sentence

すごい、amazing花火(はなび)fireworksがきれいpretty

Amazing, the fireworks are beautiful!

How it works

すごい (amazing) is tossed out first as a reaction, almost like “wow.” Then the real sentence follows: が (subject) points to the subject (花火(はなび) (fireworks)), and きれい (beautiful) — a na-adjective — sits at the end describing it. In casual speech it stands without the copula.
