Note: When the nationalities are used as adjectives, they must agree with the subject of the verb
(masculine vs. feminine, and singular vs. plural.) The extra ending shown above is added to signify a
feminine subject. To make them plural, just add an -s (unless it already ends in an -s, then add
nothing.) The masculine forms of the nationalities are also used to signify the language. And the
definite article is not used before a language when it follows the verb parler (to speak.)
