ADJECTIVE + NOUN COLLOCATIONS

The combination of expressions may vary depending on the context. Nouns are strengthened by the use of adjectives or adverbs. Collocations are fixed expressions, in which words commonly go together as lexical chunks.

These expressions may be "collocated" with different words. However, if we don't use the right combinations, the meaning could sound strange and unnatural.
