-ès

Appendix:Variations of "es" Catalan Alternative forms ca -és Valencia Etymology 1 ca la -ēnsis (compare oc -és, pt -ês, fr -ais, es -és, it -ese). Pronunciation Suffix -ese; forms an adjective with the meaning of “pertinent thereto” Suffix m + -ese; forms a noun with the meaning of “an inhabitant thereof” Suffix m - -ese; forms a proper noun with the meaning of “the language used by the inhabitants thereof” Usage notes Unlike English, where the capitalization of the proper noun is retained when a suffix is added, in Catalan, when this suffix is used with a place name, the capitalization is dropped, even when forming a language name that is itself a proper noun. Hence ca Irlanda Ireland + ca -ès yields ca irlandès not ca *Irlandès. Derived terms ca Etymology 2 From la -istis, the second person plural ending for the present perfect indicative ending.
