correct adjectives?
Hi,
Please tell me why these would be considered good adjectives, if there are indeed correct/good adjective for the sentences? I think they would be more like to be seen as something like "believers with Christian background" and "Starbucks in the Los Angeles area," but those underlined phares as adjectives?
Christian-background believers
Los Angeles-area Starbucks

- Nor am I sure what you mean by 'good adjectives'.
- Perhaps you mean a formal-sounding adjective, or one that sounds elegant or literary in some way?

Thank you. I am trying to get a grip on what are some basic ideas behind forming multiple adjective like the ones I used:
Christian-background believers
Los Angeles-area Starbucks
If you check a dictionary, I am sure you will get "background" and "area" as nouns, but that is not an issue in my argument because I feel you use noun adjectives a lot

Hi,
You might like to consider this, for example, where it deals with compound adjectives and hyphenation.
My 'Oxford Companion to the Eglish Language' also has a small but interesting section on hyphens (it notes that their use "has always been variable and unpredictable".)
