Talk:Manileño

RFV
Adjective: Of or pertaining to Manila, or to its inhabitants.

I don't think this is attestably a true adjective. It may become one. DCDuring TALK 17:14, 23 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't know what you consider a "true adjective", but there seem to be a lot of uses. Here's some, just for a start:
 * ,, , , , , and, for "Manileño accent",
 * It looks to me like Manileño is used like one would expect "Manilan" to be used- as both an adjective and a noun. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:19, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it used as a predicate: "He is|was Manileño."? Is it used gradably/comaprably? Otherwise the usage is indistinguishable from attributive use of a noun. DCDuring TALK 22:17, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I might have missed something, but I only saw ungraded, attributive use of the term in the Google Books hits you collected. DCDuring TALK 22:24, 24 August 2012 (UTC)


 * RFV-failed as an adjective. See WT:English adjectives. - -sche (discuss) 00:57, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Presumably it's not actually the case that every syllable is stressed. Perhaps (more generally) we should look for instances where a term has three or more primary stresses (especially if it doesn't have, say, thirty or more letters). - -sche (discuss) 21:38, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
