In English we say: 'a good boy'; an Arab would say: 'a boy good' In Arabic, qualified noun comes first and the adjective comes next, e.g: وَلَدٌ حَسَنٌ a good boy, رَجُلٌ جَمِيْلٌ a handsome man, بَيْتٌ كَبِيْرٌ a big house.
An adjective agrees with esm اِسْمٌ it qualifies in definiteness. If esm اِسْمٌ qualified be nakera نَكِرَةٌ then the adjective must also be نَكِرَةٌ as بَيْتٌ كَبِيْرٌ , رَجَلٌ جَمِيْلٌ ,وَلَدٌ حَسَنٌ etc. If اِسْمٌ qualified be مَعْرِفَةٌ then the adjective must also be مَعْرِفَةٌ such as: الوَلَدٌ الطيبٌ the good boy, اَلرّجُلُ الْجَمِيْلُ the handsome man, اَلْبَيْتُ اَلْكَبِيْرُ the big house. but اَلْوَلَدُ حَسَنُ , وَلَدٌ اَلْحَسَنُ , رَجُلٌ اَلْجَمْيْلُ , بَيْتُ اَلْكَبِيْرٌ اَلْبَيْتُ كَبِيرُ, etc. are Incorrect for the adjectives must agree in definiteness with اِسْمٌ they qualify. the qualifying adjective is اَلصِّفَةُ and اِسْمُ qualified is اَلْمَوصُوف to repeat, اَلصِّفَةُ must agree with اَلْمَوْصُوفُ in definiteness.
There are some qualities which are acquired and there are some qualities which are not acquired but inherent. Qualities inherent are called جَمِيْلٌ , حَسَنُ اَلصِّفَةُ الْمُشَبَّهِةُ etc.
