Adjective Order

🎙️ Adjective Order in English: Why We Say "Big Beautiful Desk" (Not the Other Way Around!)Okay, so here’s something kinda weird about English—when we use a bunch of adjectives before a noun, there’s actually a pretty specific order that sounds right… even if we don’t realize it! 😅Linguists have noticed a pattern, and it goes like this:Opinion – Size – Age – Shape – Color – Origin – Material – Purpose.(Yeah, OSASCOMP... but don’t worry, we’ll break it down!)🪑 So we say:a beautiful big wooden deska cute little red pursean old round stone tablea nice new French caféBUT—some words, like big, are kind of pushy and often go in front of opinions:a big exciting tripa big terrible messa big fun partyIt’s not about memorizing every detail—it’s more about getting used to what sounds natural over time. You’ll start to feel it the more you hear and use English. Promise! 💬Try writing a few examples in the comments. I’d love to see your combos!
