You’ll develop an intuitive feel for it after reading/listening enough. In the meantime, people will still almost always understand what you’re trying to say even if you mix up the order and sound unnatural.

It is so engrained on an unconcious level that almost no native speaker has heard of it, much less even been taught it.

This. People in English speaking countries don't learn the rules, they just get better through exposure.

Speaking English strictly according to the grammar makes you sound like dork desu

"Kitchen table" and "sports car" can't rearranged because they're compound nouns. You don't say "the table is kitchen" or "the car is sports".

>>222422944
The claim that "kitchen table" and "sports car" can't be rearranged because they're compound nouns is not entirely accurate. While it's true that compound nouns have a fixed order for clarity and conventional usage, rearranging the words is grammatically possible, though it may alter or obscure the meaning. For example, "table kitchen" or "car sports" may sound unusual or nonsensical in English, but the limitation comes more from semantics and common usage than strict grammatical rules. Additionally, some compound nouns can be pluralized or modified without changing word order (e.g., "sports cars"), showing flexibility in usage beyond a rigid structure. Therefore, the inability to rearrange these phrases is a matter of linguistic convention rather than an absolute grammatical prohibition.

shape coming before age feels really fucking retarded to me
I would absolutely say "new round kitchen table" if you made me describe one
>>
>>222423559
I think that implies that the previous kitchen table was also round, which may not be accurate
>>
>>222423559
pretty sure you can also say "the amazing, red, heart-shaped balloons"
or "those old, lovely ceramic mugs"
