- Adjective order. One of the most mysterious and strange things in English. And also one of the most frustrating things to understand when you're learning English.
In this class I will explain the secret to understanding adjective order and also attempt to explain why it exists. And no, I won't be giving you a long list to memorise! See you in class!

In Italy, when we refer to a teacher of the university, we use to call him "Chiarissimo professore" ("very clear" professor), followed by his name. So, this is just what you are: very clear.
Thank you Christian :)
Concise, understandable, straight to the point. In short, effective.Your teaching method is absolutely impressive. Keep on making videos like this one, congrats!
Definitely the best classes on RUclips!

Hello Christian, your lesson made me realize that the same logic is present in my native Polish language. It is so much easier to understand now. Thank you!
I had never seen a class like this about adjectives. Professor Christian, please continue teaching us!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much.
Hi Kleyhbson! I'm glad that I could offer something new! See you again in class soon!
Brilliant! I am an Ukrainian and English is the second language for me. You have just explained the most difficult topic for me. I had read at least three books, including Cambridge and Oxford, and this is the best explanation. This is lifehack, definitely! Thanks a lot!

Really great explanation! Thanks again!
Thank you so much.Creative and useful
This is the best lesson I ever eard about adjectives!!! really clear and simple. Many compliments! Also for your really funny and kind way to do it!
Hi Francesco! I'm glad you liked the class and it was useful for you! I'll see you again soon!
Thank you for this clever, fantastic, true method of creating a pattern to follow for using adjectives! This is the first unique lesson of its kind. Thank you very, very, very, very much (if I always use the same adjective I don't have to worry about the order, I know!) 🤣🤣
This is a very useful, impressive and inspirational lecture.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad you liked the class. See you again soon!
Your juggling is very impressive, I like it very much! thanks Christian!
Heheheh, it's terrible! I need to practice more...
Wow. Simple and complete class, you illuminate me, master. Because when i read books trying to find the adjective order it turns confusing, now is like, rosetta stone.
Outstanding. Thanks from Brazil.
Thank you for the useful lesson ! Your method is a lot easier but still.... I build a sentence from left to right and I have to think about the qualities of adjectives from right to left. It's still something to rack my brains
This lesson was fantastic.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!
You're genius. My gratitude
Thank you! That makes sense! I'm preparing for a Demo class, but maybe not this advanced, just placement-not order. I could say something simple like this.
That's was gorgeous! Thank you!!!
Thanks Chis. Lovely lesson as always. It's the most subject that makes me confusing a lot and even after watching your video 😐. It takes time to practise to master this guy.
I suppose that it's still not easy, but I hope that at least you have some idea of the general order of adjectives! Keep practicing and you will get there!
+Canguro English Thanks mate. I got your idea in the lesson. It's very kind of you. Be well and happy guy.
Nice class Christian Thank you.
What a class!
Gracias Christian!
You are a genius!👍
It has been another masterly amusing short class.
Thanks, that's very kind! I'm glad you liked it!
You are the best!!
Thanks, that's very kind!
Great great and great!!!
Your English very clear. Thanks
Excellent! I'm glad you can understand me!
I understood. Thanks
You are terrific !!
Thanks Vicente, that's very kind!
Excellent!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Finally I got a very good explanation for this topic.. It's quite the opposite way of thinking to the Italian language.
I'm glad you liked it Fabio! How is it in Italian?
After subject and verb it comes the object and then the adjectives in order from your personal opinion to the real properties.
One of Christian's useful, fruity, interesting, great lessons ☺.
All of them are facts, so how can we place them in the correct order?
Cool stuff Christian
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
Ahmad, ☺ 👍
Put them in the order of importance for you! The flexibility of adjective order has lots of hidden power!
thks Teacher.
Amazing
Hi Christian, thanks for this interesting class about adjective order, and yes you're absolutely righy it is the most frustrating thing to understand, but at the same time very important therefore, i think i'll wach it a few times more untill it sticks very well in my head! Bisides that i want to tell you that i liked the story about Zeus, he was a very naughty boy! hahaha :) Bye for now, and thanks again for all you do. :)
Yes, Zeus was a very naughty boy! I love the way that Greek mythology presents its gods as completely imperfect people. I think more gods should be like that! I'm glad you liked the class. See you again soon!
ZUS is also Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych in Poland ;)
I thought that we add facts near to the noun because the last thing people hear is the most they keep in their mind. So if I want him to keep in mind my opinion, it should be the last one ...!!! Thanks a lot
Thank you Legend..
Heheheh, My pleasure, but Zeus is a real legend!
Hahahaha...perhaps...
I was thinking on what is a general opinion and a specific opinion and then you answered that you do not know. Hahaha.
I laughed a lot. XD
Heheheh, I honestly have no idea what the difference is. And I certainly don't know how to explain it to a student!
Good 😎
I like your ''accent'' too.
I was born in Australia but I haven't lived there 2000, so my accent is a bit of a mess! I'm glad you like it though!
Nice, even after 5 years
It is very difficult for me, because of I, not the order the adjective. How you see I am learning English. Thank you for your time.
hi christian, I'm here waiting, for live class!!
Hi! See you shortly!
What about the usage of punctuation and conjunctions when using a series of adjectives?
Hahaha...nice info. about echo..THX
I think it's an interesting and funny story!
Yes it is
i like your accent ☺
Excellent! That makes my class a lot easier to listen to!
+Canguro English I am from Syria I live in Damascus
i am an English teacher😉
Hello from Spain! I'm really happy to have you as a student! Take care, ok?
Привет, Кристиан!
teacher I want to know the meaning of "drive by" it's the song of train .does it mean drive a car by someone or the car was drive by someone.I think it's kind. of phasal word but I don't know the exactly meaning .if you have time please tell me
Hi! In this song 'drive by' is a metaphor for 'not stopping'. If you drive by something then you drive past it without stopping. So in the song he's saying that he didn't just want to see her for one night, driving by, he wanted to stop and stay and have a relationship with her. I hope that helps!
Canguro English thank you very much I can count on you.you're great teacher.God bless you in your life and your work.
Thanks, that's very kind! See you again soon!
maybe i am a loyal student right ? as a first viewer 😎😎
Heheheh! Yes!
OpShacom...Opinion Size Colours Origin Material.
It's OK as a general guide, but there are a lot of exceptions. 'Big ugly wolf', 'ugly little wolf', 'yellow rectangular wolf', etc...
Hmm. Usually, I am impressed by your clear and unpretentious style. This is, of course, unpretentious, too, and yet seems not to address, for me, one of the most common difficulties. For example:
"She has long, straight blond(e) hair." I see three equal facts, and yet they only sound natural to me in this order. I have no clear answer, myself, beyond reference, perhaps, to one of those lists you mentioned, and those are, as you mentioned, more trouble than they are worth, I fear.
I suppose I should, though, concede that "long" could be considered a subjective evaluation, perhaps, which would go along with your idea.(Look at all those commas I used! I must be a Brit!)
Why is Italian more essential than black? Anyway, thank you, it's much easier than in our books :D
Well, It has no possibility to NOT be Italian, because it is made in Italy. But I certainly could be other colours. That's why it's more 'essential'.
Is black opinian?
I think the adjective order comes quite naturally. There is no need for a science here. It's all intuitive.
Classes with science applied
I still don’t get the part Italian fake phone ? Why is it Italian fake phone ?
I like Zeus.. He doesn't pretend to be free of emotions... ;)
Yeah, he was a really down-to-earth god!
Why don't you make videos anymore?
I don't get it. Why Italian goes before black? If we put "leather" first it must be followed by "black" and "Italian" must be the third one. On the other hand, this Italian book is covered by black leather, so it could be "small black leather Italian book". "Small black Italian leather book" doesn't make any sense.
Why do we say "Big bad city" instead of "Bad big city"?
This is a question that has bothered me for a long time and it might have to do with something called 'ablaut reduplication' but I'm not sure... I plan to dedicate some time to investigating this question soon!
@@Canguroenglish In Russia we have the same expression big bad -horribly, bad big -badly
Non-subsective adjectives: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Big bad wolf! This is probably because of umlauts...
....and about that story????... was it true ? 😆
As true as myths about gods of thunder and lightning get!
