"Eu vreau opt nasturi și patru batiste verzi."
Translation:I want eight buttons and four green handkerchiefs.

"I want eight green buttons and four handkerchiefs." was considered wrong. I suppose that the adjective could (not necesairly) modify both nouns in Romanian. Is there a way to modify both numbered nouns in English with just one adjective, like I tried in my answer, or would I need to specify "eight green buttons and four green handkerchiefs"? Sorry for bothering y'all with a doubt that is not even about the target language. Cheers.

As a native English speaker, I would probably say "I want eight green buttons and four green handkerchiefs." But your answer is just as good, Schattenparker. However, I can't imagine every needing to say either one!

well I tried hankies in here, as we don't usually say handkerchief in our neck of the woods, but it's not accepting it (I even spelt handkerchief wrong until the spell check stepped in! lol).
