   This is me when I try to remember in which cases in Spanish adjectives are before nouns and in which cases after. 🥲

     @ayis Yeah ... any clue on this? I tried to apply French rules but that doesn't work, grande came after all or most nouns ... it's a mystery

     @GreenSkyOverMe Not yet. I'm trying not to focus on that hoping it'll just root in my mind, but sometimes I notice it still doesn't. 😅

     *mostly* it's a question of whether you're emphasizing a trait or distinguishing between several things, and i think that's even kinda true on some that change the meaning

     "mi amigo viejo" tells you which one…the old one, not the young one

     "mi viejo amigo" is emphasizing the age of the friendship

     also, poetry can be a little loosey goosey with it
