Question

in spanish does it matter where yuo put the adjective
what are the adjectives you put before a noun and what are the ones you put after

ha nacido un nuevo animal(i saw this on a bilboard)
but i thought these also made sence
ha nacido un animal nuevo
un animal nuevo ha nacido
un nuevo animal ha nacido

Answer 1

You're right, all your sentences make perfect sense in Spanish and mean the same.
most of the time it doesn't matter where you put the adjective. Most of the time in normal conversation, the adjective goes after the noun (of course there are lots of exceptions). There are also some adjectives that can change the sense of the phrase depending on whether you put them before or after the noun

e.g.
un viejo amigo = an old friend
un amigo viejo = a friend who's old

Hope that helps ;)

Answer 2

a new animal has been born (i saw this on to bilboard) but i thought these also made sence a new animal has been born a new animal has been born a new animal has been born.

Is what it means. And yes in cases it does matter where the adjective is placed, there are times though when it doesn't matter.

Answer 3

You are correct....the position of the adjetive in key to the interpretation of a phrase in the Spanish language. Another example is

Una vieja mujer abrio la puerta
contrast with
Una mujer vieja abrio la puerta

The first phrase indicates the possibility of an older lady opening the door. The second phrase confirms the fact that an old lady opened the door.

Hope this explanation helps. Good luck.

Answer 4

As a native spanish speaker i will tell you that the adjective usually goes after the noun, all the sentences you've written make sense and mean the same, demonstrative adjectives (that, this, those, these..etc), possessive (my, your, his, her) and numeral adjectives go before the noun.

Answer 5

if u put an adjective after a noun, sometimes it wont make sense. its kinda complicated. See, there is pretitive or sum thin like that.

Answer 6

1.a new animal has been born
but u could also use nacio - already born
such as " un animal nuevo nacio"or nacio un animal nuevo"

Answer 7

for example when it´s a color it´s always after the noun.
el libro verde
Also descriptive adj. go before
un libro pequeño
