Review Summary

  • Noun + Adjective
  • Noun + Size + Color
  • Sangat/Amat + Adjective

よくある間違い

You placed the adjective before the noun. In Malay, the noun must come first.

Wrong: Merah kereta
正解: Kereta merah

The intensifier modifies the adjective, so it should be placed immediately before it, following the noun.

Wrong: Besar sangat kereta
正解: Kereta sangat besar

An intensifier cannot stand alone; it needs an adjective to intensify.

Wrong: Buku sangat
正解: Buku sangat besar

No, 'adalah' is rarely used in this context. Just place the noun and adjective together.
Just list them after the noun, usually color then size.
No, that is redundant. Pick one.
Mostly, yes. It sounds stiff in casual conversation.
