And, I know it is the same case with Portuguese and French.

In Spanish/ Portuguese /French,
noun + adjective (Game + Quiet)
whereas in English adjective + noun like "Quiet Game"


Yes, Romance languages tend to put adjectives after nouns and Germanic
languages tend to put them before. Spanish and Italian are quite
close to each other, though not necessarily in pronunciation.
