forming adjectives from country names

Hi,

I did a search on your site to find out the above, but there were not results.

Do you have a lesson/guidelines on how to form adjectives from country names?

In the quiz there were names of countries and I couldn't tell how to form the plural adjective.

Thank you, Nicole

Hola Barbara

The adjective cordobés follows the rule as explained in the lesson:

niño cordobé

niña cordobesa

niños cordobeses

niñas cordobesas

The adjective hispalense also follows the rule as explained in this other lesson:

niño hispalense

niña hispalense

niños hispalenses

niñas hispalenses

Hola Nicole

We have lessons on how to form the plurals of nationality adjectives ending in -s and -e, which are the most common. 

Here are the lessons:

Ending in -s

Ending in -e

There is also a list with nationalities (a basic list, not comprehensive)

Un saludo

Cordobese ...Cordobesas

Hispalense...hispalenses

Both refer to women. Not consistent
