 |
|
Hello everyone.
I'm wondering whether #1 or #2 below is more natural?
1. American young people
2. young American people
In my grammar, when adjectives come before a noun, "young" or "old" comes before "nationality". So #2 seems more natural to me, but how do you feel?
Best regards,

Are you tlaking about "American People" or "Young People"
I would use 1. if I was talking about American people who were young.
I would use2. if I was talking about Young people who were American.
