    "ta" sounds like "des" or "de" here to me

      I can't say "beautiful" for jolie?

        Why does "jolie" come before the noun it describes while "verte" comes after? Is there a reason for that?

          I'm sure you got the answer already, but because of the deleted comments I'll say it again.

          If it fits into one of these categories then it goes before the noun, if it doesn't it goes after.

            Can it be "nice green dress" instead of "lovely"?

              why so picky, not many people I know say a "lovely" dress. I hear and say "pretty" dress
