Questions & Answers about La nouvelle coiffure de l'avatar est très originale.

How would I apply this lesson's rule to say 'something very original' instead?
You would say quelque chose de très original. Notice that we add the preposition de and use the default masculine singular form original, even if you are referring to a feminine concept like a hairstyle.
Since avatar starts with a vowel, why didn't we use the special adjective form nouvel?
The adjective nouvelle agrees with the feminine noun coiffure, not avatar. The special form nouvel is only used when directly preceding a masculine singular noun that starts with a vowel or mute H, such as in the phrase un nouvel avatar.
If I wanted to place originale right next to the noun instead of after the verb, where would it go?
It would go after the noun, as in la nouvelle coiffure originale. While nouvelle is a BAGS adjective (Newness) that naturally comes before the noun, adjectives describing a specific style or quality like originale typically follow it.
Should I pronounce a liaison between très and originale?
Yes, making the liaison after the adverb très is highly recommended in French. You should pronounce a Z sound connecting the two words to make it flow smoothly: très (z)originale.
