¿También se llama una frase nominal/una sintagma o son cosas distintas? If it is a "sinapsia" does the adjective always go after the entire "sinapsia" and if it isn't can it go either before or after the first noun?

Thank you
"Frase nominal" is not a commonly used term, but "sintagma" (nominal or verbal, it all depends if the nucleus is a noun or a verb).

I think in sinapsia the adjective always go after the noun, never before (above all if both terms are joined with a preposition). I think that it's called "lexía" when they're not joined with a preposition (tinta china, coche cama, etc.).
