Inmotivadas before and after a verb?

Hi guys,

Can you help me figure out the difference between:

Pedro recordó las inmotivadas ausencias de Elena.

Pedro recordó las ausencias inmotivadas de Elena.

I can't find this information anywhere online.

Thank you!!!

Welcome to the forums!

Technically, you can take the verb out of the picture. You're asking about an adjective preceding or following a noun.

Usually, an adjective follows a noun. However, there are times when it precedes the noun and, in some of those cases, means a different thing.

In most cases, 'inmotivadas' would follow the noun 'ausencias'. Only to give the adjective more emphasis than the noun would you find these two words reversed.

inmotivado/da no se usa, ni se si es una palabra siquiera.

sin motivo(s) and in this case it would go after the verb
