why 'un œdipien complexe' is not correct?
from the quiz, the ' un œdipien complexe' adj is not correctly placed, but why?
This question relates to:French lesson "Adjectives usually go AFTER nouns in French (Position of Adjectives)"

Cc,
this is an adjective derived from a proper noun - Œdipe - and therefore goes after the noun. See section 3 of the lesson for discussion of this.
Adjectives usually go AFTER nouns in French (Position of Adjectives)
If you are asking why the rule exists, that is just the way it is .
