Separable noun-adjectives phrases?
If anyone speaks a language like Quecha or Attic Greek more fluently than I, how does the ability to split adjective phrases up across clauses change the meaning/emotion conveyed? Like:
BIG[Acc] THAT[Nom] IS A HOUSE[Acc] = That is a big house.
How do you use this feature, if your language has it? Is it something you think about when you compose sentences?

"Groß ist dieses Haus!"
In German you use this type of phrases to express our surprise, astonishment or our being impressed.
Also:
"Dich habe ich gefragt."
(DICH [accusative object] HABE (...) GEFRAGT [verb, perf. act.] ICH [subject].)
"It's you who I asked." or "I asked YOU."
