Hello,

You can say as follows:

(1) John ate the meat raw.
(2) John ate the meat whole.

If you want to tell the two events (1) and (2) in one sentence, how do you say? Can you rightly say as in (3)?

(3) John ate the meat raw whole.

Sincerely,
ShoHiro

Hi ShoHiro,

You would say:

John ate the raw meat whole.

If you want to make the point that he chose to eat the meat raw (instead of cooking it first), you could also say 'John ate the meat whole and raw', or 'John ate the meat raw and whole'.
