Agrego una sola cosa, "necessito" está mal escrito. "Corrijan mi español si es necesario" - Panic22, May 2, 2017

Corrijan mi español si es necesario. This is a sentence that was corrected many years ago here by native Spanish speakers so I know my sentence is correct :) - FELIZ77, May 2, 2017

Answer 1

-- En este contexto el orden adjetivo-sustantivo no hace la diferencia.

(In this situation the noun-adjective order is not relevant).

-- En ambos casos, "trabajo nuevo" o "nuevo trabajo" se trasmite la idea con completa eficacia.

(In both cases, "trabajo nuevo" or "nuevo trabajo" the idea is conveyed correctly, and it sounds well).

-- In Spanish the basic principle is noun first, adjective later, but in some cases (as this one) the common usage gives the freedom to choose the order. So feel free.

Raff: well said. Aquí tienes un voto. :) - DilKen, May 3, 2017

My general thought is that nuevo before is new to you, after is new to existence. So if the job was pre-existing but new to me I would put nuevo before it, and only use nuevo after if I wanted to empasize that the job was newly created. :) - bosquederoble, May 3, 2017

I wonder if my thoughts on this are reasonable? - bosquederoble, May 3, 2017

niuevo trabajo sound s much better to me than trabajo nuevo! :) - FELIZ77, May 3, 2017

Thanks, bosquederobl. I appreciate your explanation. Wow! High level! Anyway, whenever I find a situation where nuances are not so relevant for common usage and ear sensitivity I do avoid it. - Raff75, May 4, 2017
