Cuando el atributo es un adjetivo que sitúa al referente del sujeto en un determinado estado, el verbs copulativo que se utiliza es estar. Un determinado estado? Why not un estado determinado? Are there adjectives where the meaning is the same whether it is put before or after a noun? If yes, could you provide a list of a good amount?
Adjectives: Before or After a Noun?
Whenever the adjective comes before a noun, it’s putting emphasis on the noun and it acts as a distinguisher from others like it.
So un determinado estado differs from un estado determinado because it’s focusing more on the essential fact that it is determined and not the fact that it is a state/status which happens to be determined.
There are, however adjectives that change meaning when put in front or after the noun.
