Adjective order발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

[Voiceover] So, grammarians, if you're a native English speaker, the phrase French old white house might seem a little weird to you, if you're not a native English speaker it might not, and this is something that I didn't really know about before I started preparing to teach this course, is that there is a specific order that adjectives go in in English.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

This is something that I think we just pick up as English speakers but if you didn't grow up speaking English it gets a little tricky sometimes.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So the question is, in order to make this seem right, what order do you put these adjectives in?발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That's near about as I can reckon it.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Making this into old white French house.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Because there is an order and it goes like this.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Determiner, opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, purpose, or for short dosa scomp.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Dosa scomp. Aw.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Okay, that's actually kind of a thing.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So a dosa is a South Indian flat bread, and a scomp, I'm gonna say is a word for eating.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

It's not a word, it's a made up word, but dosa scomp.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Sounds like scarf to me. Or chomp.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Both of those are verbs ?about eating, as well as scarf being a garment, so dosa scomp.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

I just want you to imagine sitting down to a delicious South Indian meal and scomping on some dosas.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So dosa scomp.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Determiner, and that's words like the or an.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Opinion, this is when you're describing something there are certain descriptors that not everyone would agree with.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So if you're looking at a piece of black metal, everyone would be able to agree that it is black.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

But if you think it's cool looking or ugly looking, you know, everything that anyone could conceivably disagree about, that's an opinion.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So, cool for example, that would be an opinion.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Size, so the cool, big, old, square, black,.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And origin usually can be where it's from.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So let's say Texan.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And then we have materials, let's say leather, cause leather can be black, and the purpose.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

This is where we would use what's called a participle or a gerundive to determine what the thing is for.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So if we were talking about a lawnmower that you ride around on, that's called a riding mower.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And the last thing here is the thing itself.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So we're looking at, so this thing is cool, big, old, square, black, Texan, leather, riding mower, but frankly in most normal English sentences you'll probably never going to use more than three adjectives to describe a given thing.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Like old white French house.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Now sometimes, you might find yourself using more than one adjective that fits into the same category.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So you might say the exciting, unparalleled green dragon.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And you'll notice I put a comma there, because when you use two adjectives from the same category, so two opinions, exciting and unparalleled, you wanna separate them with a comma, but generally if you're just scooting down the dosa scomp, old white French house, you don't need to separate these non-coordinate adjectives from each other.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And we'll get more into commas in punctuation section, but for now, all you need to remember is dosa scomp.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And if you've never had a dosa, I strongly urge you to look up recipes online or go to a South Indian restaurant and make and eat this delicious food.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And then, you're just gonna scomp on some dosas.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

So determiner, opinion, size, age, dosa.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Shape, color, origin, material, purpose, and then the thing.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

That's the order that adjectives go in in English.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

Why is this? I have no idea.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You know sometimes language can be really, the word I tend to use is arbitrary.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

You can call it random, if you like.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

This is just the way that we arrived at this order, it's just basically through random chance of convention.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And what seems to sound right.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

And what sounds right for English isn't always what sounds right for other languages.발음듣기

다른 번역문 등록

For example, the way we're using adjectives here, we're always putting them to the left of whatever they modify, the exciting, unparalleled green dragon.발음듣기
