"płaszcz gronostajowy" means "ermine coat/robe" // Is it natural to use adjective both before and after of a noun? Adjectives placed after the noun indicate a permanent and more important feature of the noun. This coat is made of ermine's fur. This is a permanent feature of this coat. It's not going to change. That's why "gronostajowy" is after a noun. "Wspaniały" is placed before a noun, because it's an opinion and this feature is not permanent. Coat may become worn out in the future, and it's not going to be magnificent anymore. More examples: (white bear) niedźwiedź biały - means a bear with white fur biały niedźwiedź - means a bear covered/painted with something white (e.g. snow, paint) (Colourful street) ulica Kolorowa - means that the name of the street is Kolorowa kolorowa ulica - means that the street is colorful, because (for example) there's a festival and it's decorated // Is it possible to use "gronostaja" instead of "gronostajowy"? "z gronostaja". Yes :) "płaszcz gronostaja" alone, means a coat that belongs to ermine (animal) "płaszcz z gronostaja" - coat made of ermine (ermine's fur)

We use adjective after a noun to describe unchangeable features of an object. nowy/stary/wspaniały/znoszony(changeable) płaszcz gronostajowy (made by sewing many ermine furs - unchangeable) płaszcz gronostajowy - ermine coat płaszcz gronostaja - a coat that belongs to an ermine Hope it is clear.
