    Spanish is definitely fucked, putting the adjective after the noun. You don’t pet the brown dog, you pet the dog brown.

      Languages have been using different word orders since time immemorial (see what I did there)

      Idk, I kinda get it, adjectives are just descriptors. In Spanish, you can drop the end of the sentence and still get its meaning. You don’t pet the brown, you pet the dog.
