Which sentence between these two is grammatically correct?
Hi:) I have a question about the order of adjectives!
As far as I know, the proper order of adjectives is opinion-size-age-shape-color-origin-material, but here are some things I'm struggling with.
1. "I go to an Austrian local school or "I go to a local Austrian school"?
2. "I love French traditional food" or "I love traditional French food"?
*To which category do the adjectives "local" and "traditional" belong to?*
Should they go after/before the origin-indicating adjectives "Austrian" and "French"?
Thanks for the help

Oliv Park As far as I know, the proper order of adjectives is opinion-size-age-shape-color-origin-material, There is no unique correct way to classify adjectives for this purpose. Different people may come up with slightly different sets of categories, sometimes more than you have. "local" and "traditional" don't fit any of your categories.

- "local" and "traditional" don't fit any of your categories.
- They are more like "type", although "type" may be too general a term to be ideal for this purpose.
- In any case, these are the natural orders for me: "I love traditional French food" "I go to a local Austrian school"
