Auvergnese

== English == === Etymology === From Auvergne +‎ -ese. === Adjective === Auvergnese Of, from, or pertaining to the region of Auvergne in France ==== Synonyms ==== Auvergnian Auvergne (when used attributively) ==== Translations ==== === Noun === Auvergnese (plural Auvergnese) (chiefly in the plural) A person from the Auvergne region ==== Usage notes ==== As with other terms for people formed with -ese, the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Auvergnese", "writing about Auvergnese cuisine as a Auvergnese") is now uncommon and often taken as grammatically incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Auvergnese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Auvergnese cuisine as a Auvergnese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only primarily used as an adjective or as a plural noun. ==== Synonyms ==== Auvergnian ==== Translations ==== === See also === Auvergne on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
