Is it the right way to put adjectives before a noun or after?
>>
the default english is before
>>
>>72899834
If you speak a non-shitty language, then the order doesn't matter
>>
after
>>
>>72899834
It makes more sense to put them after
>the big, fat, smelly...
>cat!
With how it is you have to wait to know what is actually being described compared to
>The cat big, fat, smelly
When you already have the image of the cat before you add descriptors onto it
>>
it does matter in english
the day after cannot be the after day
>>
>>72899901
so in order to rectify we have to make the whole thing into a noun if the adjective is after

the next week is not the same as the week next
>>
>>72899834
In which language?
>>
>>72899834
Honestly? After makes more sense, you say what you're describing and then describe it.


On 4chan?

>>
>>72899834
in any order can you
>>
>>72900002
Well, which way is the right way? The original way?
>>
>>72899834
>Is it the right way to put adjectives before a noun
i thought that was the only way in english
are you a japanese?
>>
>>72900098
Yes but which way is the right way?
>>
>>72900098
ignore the meme posters in english it does matter and it needs clear demarcations if it is after like the example used they are divided by commas and only if there is no ambiguity

the red book
the book, red
etc
the book red is not the same as the red book on an epistemological level
>>
>>72900098
remember the movie chicken little
>>
>>72899885
What if you want to place an emphasis on just the cat instead of its features?
>>
>>72900185
what about code red
>>
>>72900247
which is a noun form versus the red code

ie code red is smaller set of things than code that happens to be red
>>
>>72899901
>>72899938
not sure what you're trying to say here
those aren't adjectives when they follow the nouns in your examples
>>
>>72900221
uh yeah, why

>>72900185
>the book red is not the same as the red book
yeah i know, i found it with that Stephen King's movie, "Rose Red"
>>
>>72900263
>>72900272
another way to look at it

red -> code

in code red, code <-> red
>>
>>72900335
why? it is an example of the opposite
>>
>>72900366
hi not him but chicken little is not correct as an adjective modifier

it would be blah blah the chicken, little.

"chicken little" plays on the adjective form but is a implied proper noun Little
chicken [name] (boy Red).
>>
>>72900366
no, Chicken is the character's first name and Little his last name
it's like "code red" example, that's the whole name of the code, like would be any other name such as "code blue" or "code Zulu". the code is not colored red, but it has name "red"
at least that's how i understood it

Shyvana from League of Legends.
>>
>>72900553
you're right, "code red" taken as a whole is a noun
>>
>>72899885
The English word order is great for setting up the punchline in a joke.
It's probably why Anglo humor is GOAT imo.
