Kiwi asks…

Is it ok to say "white snow horse" instead of "snow white horse"?


Answer from a Native speaker

teacher

Rebecca

There are two rules to remember when considering the order of adjectives in a sentence. Firstly, they should go in the order of opinion> size > age > shape > color > origin > material > purpose. Ex: A century-old blue vase. => Age > color > material Ex: A ten-year old yellow dog. => Age > color Additionally, when it comes to colors, qualifiers for a color always go before the color itself. Ex: A snow white horse. Ex: It was pitch black outside. Thus, based on these rules, "snow white horse" is correct, and "white snow horse" isn't!
