So for example:
She's wearing a beautiful red Vietnamese dress.
I like to drink delicious Jamaican coffee.
It is an ugly big old grey American concrete research library.
It is kind of strange to use adjectives from each group, usually we just use a maximum of 3 or 4 adjectives:
It was a terrific fast-paced 1980s action movie.
I just bought a new green summer dress.
My friend moved into a wonderful big old apartment.
But most people rarely use more than 2 adjectives at once:
My office is in the tall yellow building.
Wow, those are sexy black pants~! Are they new?
REMEMBER adjective order in English is important so:
My office is in the yellow tall building. X
Wow, those are black sexy pants~! Are they new? X
THIS SOUNDS WRONG!!! It sounds funny and strange, unnatural.
Be Careful everyone and enjoy speaking English,
Phil
