Grammar · Nouns
Adjective position
Most adjectives follow the noun, and moving one changes the meaning.
The default is noun then adjective, which is the opposite of English. A small group can go in front, and when they do the meaning shifts from a plain description to something more subjective.
Examples
una casa grande
a big house
the ordinary position
una gran casa
a great house
in front, and the meaning changes
un amigo viejo
an old friend, elderly
un viejo amigo
a friend of long standing
same two words, different claim
Watch out
Putting every adjective in front out of English habit. It is understood, but it sounds translated.
