Hi!
Someone has a question on inversion.
Ex:
- You are such a lovely girl that everybody loves you.
Such .................................................................................
Person1:
- Such is a lovely girl that everybody loves you.
Person 2:
- Such a lovely girl are you that everybody loves you.
Which is correct, please?
 
The inversion is pretty awkward, but the second one is the right one.

It sounds so awkward to me that I would hesitate to call it correct.
