OP While shopping at Home Depot with my parents the other day, I noticed a package that was printed in three languages. In part, it read:
Instrucciones fáciles de seguir/ Instructions faciles à suivre/ Easy-to-follow Instructions
So here's my question: Is English the only language in which hyphens are used to create adjectives?
I realize we've had similar discussions before (like the Hyphenated Modifiers from @#$% thread) but I don't recall talking about the language factor.
