For example

"This man who is handsome is drinking water."

Or

"This woman who is running likes to eat hamburgers."

Posted

这个很帅的男人在喝水。or

很帅的这个男人在喝水。

 

Likewise,

 

这个在跑步的女人喜欢吃汉堡包。or

在跑步的这个女人喜欢吃汉堡包。

 

I'd say the latter of each pair better suit your sentences because having the adjectival phrases up at the very front emphasizes the "(who is) handsome" and "(who is) running" a bit more than having the demonstrative pronouns at the very beginning.

These sentences may not be translated word by word in actual conversations.

For example, in a casual conversation, these go as:

这帅哥在喝水。

这跑步的女的喜欢吃汉堡。
