Question

il a mangé de magnifiques gâteauxj'ai vu des entroits magnifiqueswhat is the significance of the adjective before / after the nown?

Accepted Answer

Bonjour John,
'magnifique' is part of a set of adjectives, expressing emotions / strong feelings, that can be placed before or after nouns. Here are a few more: atroce = terrible, extraordinaire = extraordinary, splendide = splendid
Placing such an adjective before the noun helps highlight the feeling / opinion expressed - see link to previous answer: the-position-of-delicieux
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

Answer

Hi John,
Before the noun, an abstract sense. After the noun, a concrete / descriptive sense.
Hope this helps.
