Bonjour Merve !
The lesson states that in cases where the adjective is used with an adverb, there are two possibilities:
- If the adverb contains two syllables or more (i.e. "vraiment gentille"), then the adverb/adjective will be AFTER the noun -> "une fille vraiment gentille"
- If the adverb contains one syllable (i.e. "très joli"), then the adverb/adjective will be BEFORE the noun -> "un très joli manteau"
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
Why do we use un tres joli manteau but not un manteau tres joli? Merci!

2 or more syllable?
un vraiment beau monument - this is a mistake beacuse >vraiment< has two syllables? and actually should be: un vraiment monument beau ?
or else?
thanks!
