Hi all, I've noticed that a number of -na adjectives (and some -no adjectives as well) sometimes attach directly to a noun without any particles. I get the impression that sometimes this happens because the adjective and the noun form a fixed combination that could almost be considered a separate entry in a dictionary (for example 天然資源 or 知的好奇心).
In other cases though it just seems random to me. For example 日本の主要都市 is, according to Google, much more frequent than 日本の主要な都市. Are there general guidelines for such cases?
