Order of Adjectives (Susunan Kata Sifat)

Adjectives order itu adalah penempatan kata sifat (susunan) yang harus mengikuti aturan yang berlaku di tata bahasa inggris. Sebelum mepelajari bagian ini, coba pilih mana frasa yang benar dari 2 frasa yang ada di bawah ini :

·         Perempuan tua yang kaya, atau

·         Perempuan kaya yang tua.

Dalam bahasa Indonesia, kedua frasa di atas, hampir tidak ada masalah. Namun dalam bahasa Inggris, salah satu diantaranya tidak sesuai dengan standard tata bahasa. Mari kita ingat urutan kata sifat yang benar di depan kata benda.

 DOSASCOMP = Determiner (the, a, an, some, dll).

O = Opinion (beautiful, rich, diligent, dll)
S = Size (big, small, long, dll)
A = Age (young, old, new)
S = Shape (round, fat, thin, dll)
C = Color (white, yellow, red, dll)
O = Origin (Italy, Indonesia, Malaysia, dll)
M = Material (rubber, plastic, cotton, dll)
P = Purpose (tennis, school, dll)



Urutkan kata-kata sifat yang ada dalam frasa di atas:

Perempuan = Kata benda (letaknya terakhir = No. 10 setelah purpose)

Kaya = Kata Sifat = Opinion (No. 2)

Tua = Kata Sifat = Age (no. 4)

Jadi urutan yang benar adalah 2, 4, 10
Kaya, tua, perempuan = Rich old lady

 silahkan lihat tabel dibawah ini untuk lebih jelasnya :

Opinion	Opinion menjelaskan bahwa kamu berfikir tentang sesuatu hal, pendapat silly, beautiful, horrible, difficult
Size	A SIZE menjelaskan tentang seberapa besar atau kecil benda/hal tersebut. Examples: large, tiny, enormous, little, small
Age	An age memberitahukan seberapa tua atau muda benda, orang, atau hal tersebut. Examples: ancient, new, young, old
Shape	A shape menjelaskan bentuk dari sesuatu tersebut.  Examples: square, round, flat, rectangular, flat
Colour	A colour menjelaskan tentang warna dari sesuatu hal tersebut . Examples: blue, pink, reddish, grey
Origin	An origin menjelaskan dari mana benda/sesuatu itu berasal . Examples: French, lunar, American, eastern, Greek
Material	A material menjelaskan terbuat dari apa benda/ sesuatu hal tersebut. Examples: wooden, metal, cotton, paper, plastic, glass
Purpose	A purpose menjelaskan tujuan/guna sesuatu hal/benda tersebut. Examples: sleeping (as in "sleeping bag"), roasting (as in "roasting tin") racing car, frying pan

beberapa contoh dari adjective order :

	Opinion	Size	Age	Shape	Colour	Origin	Material	purpose
a.	Silly		Young			English			Man
b.		Huge		Round			Metal		Bowl
c.		Small			Red			Sleeping	Bag

            Dalam adjectives order, jika ada susunan kata sifat yang tidak dijelaskan/tidak tercantum di kalimat, maka kata sifat akan dilanjutkan setelahnya....misalnya dari gambar diatas...

a silly young english man.......ada susunan yang tidak dicantumkan seperti size, shape, colour, material, dan purpose maka kata sifat yang tidak ada harus dilewati dan dilanjutkan kata seterusnya sesuai susunan adjectives order.

a huge round metal bowl......disana ada susunan yang tidak dicantumkan seperti opinion, age, colour, material dan purpose, maka kata sifat yang tidak ada harus dilewati dan dilanjutkan kata seterusnya sesuai susunan adjectives order.
