URGENT generally follows its noun: besoins urgens; affaires urgentes. Yet it may precede it; as we say, on l'assistera dans son urgente nécessité.

VAIN follows its noun, to denote 'vanity:' un homme vain, a vain man. When Vain is used in the sense of fruitless, ineffectual, it generally precedes its noun: de vains efforts; vaines sollicitations: and when it means frivolous, chimerical, it may either precede or follow the noun: prétention vaine; idée vaine. We always say, la vaine gloire, for 'vain glory.'

VASTE generally precedes its noun: vaste campagne; vaste désert. However, we say, un esprit vaste, une mémoire vaste.

VÉRITABLE follows the noun, to denote veracity: en voici la relation véritable. It precedes the noun to express genuine: de véritable vin de Canarie: in the acceptation of sincere, faithful, or steady: un véritable ami: or to denote good or excellent in its kind: c'est un véritable capitaine, orateur, &c.

VERT, as an adjective of colour, follows its noun: however, we say, le vert gazon; le vert feuillage; sous la verte feuillée; and figuratively, meaning full of vigour, la verte jeunesse, une verte vieillesse, une verte (sharp) réprimande, une verte réponse, un vert galant, a brisk spark.

VIEUX generally precedes the noun: un vieux chapeau, un vieil habit (vieil is placed before for euphony), le vieux style. Un vieux ami, an old friend (a friend of long standing); un ami vieux, an aged friend.

VIF, denoting a great impression which moral or natural things make upon us, may sometimes precede its noun: un vif ressentiment; une vive douleur (a smart pain or profound grief). We always say, de vive force, by main force; de vive voix, by word of mouth; du vifargent, quicksilver. Vif, under any other circumstance, generally follows the noun, to express quick, alive, lively, mettlesome: un homme vif; carpe vive; chaire vive, quick flesh; les passions vives.

VIL may precede or follow its noun, almost indifferently: however we always say, de vil prix, à vil prix; and un homme vil, une femme vile.

VILAIN follows the noun, in the sense of stingy, niggardly, and precedes it when in the sense of ugly, disagreeable: as, un homme vilain, a stingy man; un vilain homme, an ugly man.

VRAI, following the noun, means true, not false or invented. When it precedes, it signifies downright: as, une histoire vraie, a true history; une vraie histoire, a downright tale, falsehood.
