[Grammar] rich - Adjectives Order

[MarieLina]

Hi, everybody

Thank you all who helps to learn/improve English
I need your help in a following matter:

In the test on Adjectives order there is a sentence: "He's an unfriendly rich man" - that's the correct answer.
I understand that "unfriendly" describes opinion, that's why it took the first place in this word combination.
But which group does the adjective "rich" pertains to? Purpose?

Thanks in advance

Not a teacher.
As far as I'm concerned, "rich" pertains to "fact" describing what is true, real..
I hope I am right, but we should wait for some teacher's answer to see..

(1) I agree that adjective placement can be confusing.

(2) I think that some other languages have a more logical system.

(3) I think (think) that it depends on what we wish to modify.

(4) In your sentence, we are talking about a "rich man."

(a) We then describe what kind of rich man:

(i) a unfriendly/friendly/ugly/handsome/ honest/dishonest

rich man.

For example: He is now a rich man, but he still is not very friendly.

With all that money, I do not understand how he could be such an

unfriendly rich man. (Maybe it's true: Money cannot buy happiness.)


(5) Maybe we wish to describe an "unfriendly man."

(a) Then we would describe him:

(i) a rich/poor/stupid/intelligent/tall/short

unfriendly man.

For example: He is a very unfriendly man, but he has many

"friends" because he is a rich unfriendly man. (Money "buys"

friends.)

Is it an attributive adjective maybe?

I guess that is what the author of the test means.
