-ese

Appendix:Variations of "ese" English Etymology en of or from :inh enm:-eys<id:-eys enm> 1 From en enm -eys, from en fro -eis, from en la -ēnsis and, less often, en la-lat -iscus. Generally used in place of more common equivalent suffixes such as en -er and en -an on the model of equivalent terms in en it - and en pt -, particularly for Italian, Portuguese African, and East Asian places first widely discussed in Portuguese and Latin. Pronunciation en /ˈiːz/ UK en LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl--ese.wav Southern England en /ˈiz/ US; nonstandard, rare, obsolete /is/Mentioned in dictionaries but no longer used. See e.g. Annamese / Annamese / Annamese / Annamese, Chinese / Chinese / Chinese / Chinese, legalese / legalese, Viennese / Viennese / Viennese / Viennese, etc. Suffix en characteristic adjectives Used to form adjectives and nouns describing things and characteristics of a city, region, or country, such as the people and the language spoken by these people. en -ish -an -ian -ic -ite -i Faroese, Maltese, Milanese, Parmese, Portuguese, Viennese; Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese; Beninese, Congolese, Togolese en language nouns Used to form nouns meaning the jargon or language used by a particular profession or being or in a particular context. en -speak en journal journalese en legal legalese en translation translationese Usage notes Generally speaking, nouns formed with the suffix -ese have no distinct plural form (e.g. two Viennese) and, usually with the definite article, can be plural and refer to an entire group (e.g. the Ravennese). They are also generally not used in the singular, as in "I am a Chinese"; instead, phrases like "I am a Chinese person" are used, where "Chinese" is an adjective. (In some British dialects, "a Chinese" can be used, but to refer to an en Chinese meal 1 1, rather than a person.) This is not always the case, particularly for (non-native) English speakers from East Asia who use it to translate demonyms such as 日本人 and 中国人, but such countable uses may have nonstandard meanings. See also en -ish: "I am an English" is similarly considered improper.

Usage notes As in English, -ese is generally only used to form words on the model of Italian and Portuguese terms, with particular use in Italy, Portuguese Africa, and East Asia. Unlike English, the German terms only function as demonyms that can easily be discussed in the singular and many such terms are now obsolete, having been replaced by equivalents using de -er.
