Yes, multiple adjectives are fine, although in practice, more than three would seem tedious to a reader. To expand on Tyke's excellent response, consider the following recommended order: 1) article or other marker (like possessive, Wang's) 2) opinion adjective (short, tall, pretty) 3) size 4) shape 5) age 6) color 7) nationality 8) religion 9) material (gold, cardboard) 10) noun used as adjective (tea, as in tea bag).

Yes. He is a tall, dark, handsome man. Here is a rather extreme example: it's a great, big, new, black, Chinese, leather handbag. So what order should the adjectives be in? First: your opinion [great, terrible, horrible] size; big, small, tiny age: old, new shape; round, square colour: black, red origin: Greek, Chinese material: plastic, metal That's the theory, but in practice, it would not be a good idea to load the poor old noun with so many adjectives.

Always use a comma between multiple adjectives. It's a small, small world. (Disney attraction)
