long adjective formation

Hi,

Could I put the word "Korean" before the word "context" to make it a compound word (?) for the purpose of making it part of a long adjective that involves a hyphen? I don't think I can separate the words "Korean context".

a Korean-context-appropriate ad
a Korean-context-appropriate word order
  

Top answer

I recommend against both. They are unspeakably awkward. An ad appropriate in Korea / in a Korean context.
