"a big American building"

Translation: بِناية أَمْريكِيّة كَبيرة

[Linda-Lapin]

I'm having some trouble with placement of adjectives when there are more than one. Is there some simple rule?

[LeilaKhalid]

I think a simple rule is it's the opposite of the placement in English.

[Bouchra191]

The nationality adjectives come before ather adjectives like form and color

[Angel839641]

Does it really matter?

[NinlyOne]

Yes, adjective order matters more than it might seem. Imagine saying "an American big building" -- it might make sense in very specific contexts, but would normally just be awkward and wrong.

[probir2]

I believe it's just going translating from right to left successively. For example, in the instant case, for writing the sentence, a big American building, we have to write the Arabic words for, building American big.
