Infinitive clauses referring to an adjective before a noun
Well, does it change by the adjective or is it always like that? Why I am asking it is because I see this structure(adjective+noun+to do smt) almost everytime.
Example,
"What is the most difficult book to read?"
How can we read it?
Does it mean
"What is the book to read, which is most difficult"
It makes no sense to me again.
or
"What is the book which is most difficult to read?"

Jawel Quote Well, does it change by the adjective or is it always like that? Please see my original reply. Until someone presents a counterexample, my theory is that it is dictated by what is the implied subject of the infinitive.
