Ukrainian song of the day
Виступали козаченьки - ukrainian cossack song
►
> See the Cossacks over yonder
Riding down the hill.
Cossack Nechay's horse is blacker
Than a raven's bill.

Speed your step, my raven charger -
Berestechko nears.
Tatars made our host much larger -
Forty thousand spears.
>
How we scared you, Polish lords,
By the Yellow River!
Now with forty thousand swords
We shall make you shiver.

I'm a Cossack young and fair,
What have I to fear?
Polish noblemen, take care,
We are getting near.
>
See the Cossacks over yonder
Riding down the hill.
Cossack Nechay's horse is blacker
Than a raven's bill.
I have just translated it after a jog
Listened to it several times while jogging
A beautiful song

Q: position of adjective when the noun is followed by preposition

Sujeet AgrahariWhere should I place an adjective when the noun is followed by a preposition? Which is the right way to use of the below sentences? He is a suitable man for any post. Or He is a man suitable for any post. Is there any difference in meaning between these two sentence?

adjectives adjective-phrases adjective-order
Yes, there is a difference in meaning. The second one is the correct construction for your intended meaning. — Teacher KSHuang Apr 19 at 11:53
I don't think there is any difference in meaning but, yes, the implication or stress varies. While the first sentence is a plain statement, the second one stresses about his suitability. — Man_From_India 29 mins ago

@Man_From_India Interesting question.
I don't know when I'd use the first construction.
@M.A.R. You can unpin that announcement now.

Seems someone deleted my comments.
No problem.

@Cardinal Uh, I might've reported them as obsolete (the inquirer edited their question so it doesn't contain the contentious word).
If we're talking about the same question. No hard feelings, I just felt it cluttered the comment section.

@userr2684291 It's cool. However, I would have been more delighted if i was notified.

@Cardinal Yeah, heh. It's weird they don't notify you for that...

@M.A.R. That's odd. I thought you'd bounce right back in here once you got kicked from the other one (you imp, with your incendiary comments). :>

@userr2684291 Eh, I haven't eaten a single thing for the whole day
Me becoming grumpy is natural, in my L3.
So big deal . . . a mod deems kicking me necessary, and does it
I come back to my senses, and see "WTH are you doing MAR"
Mission accomplished

@V.V. Better than nothing. I got suspicious that maybe my answer is wrong!

@Cardinal What userr is saying, is that on ELL, the OPs are usually the least qualified people to judge an answer based on its merit
Most probably in this case, the OP was thanking V.V. because the first comment is speaking about the question not being suitable for ELL

A: place of adverbs

Scott GlasgowThere is no particular order which is "correct" for adverbs that modify verbs. For example, that example sentence can just as easily (and correctly) be rewritten as "She secretly often meets him in the evening at a bar," with exactly the same sense as the example. While there are in fact some str...
