Of or relating to Vienna (now Vienne, Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France) ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Translations ==== === Noun === Viennese (plural Viennese) A native or inhabitant of Vienna (the capital of Austria). For quotations using this term, see Citations:Viennese. A native or inhabitant of Vienna (now Vienne, Isère, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France) ==== 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 Viennese", "writing about Viennese cuisine as a Viennese") is now uncommon and often taken as grammatically incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Viennese") or before a noun like person, man, or woman ("writing about Viennese cuisine as a Viennese person"). See also -ish, which is similarly only primarily used as an adjective or as a plural noun. ==== Translations ====
