The adjective nīderlandisks is commonly used as a predicate (“this is Dutch”), or in its adverbial form nīderlandiski. The forms with a long ī (Īslande and derived terms, like īslandietis, īslandisks, etc.) have been recently (in 2007) proposed as correct, but the forms with a short i (Islande, islandietis, islandisks, etc.) are still more frequently used. ==== Declension ==== ==== Related terms ==== Islande islandietis, islandiete islandiešu valoda
