Usage notes
Metropoleis follows Ancient Greek inflection patterns (see πόλις). Metropolises follows English inflection patterns (the addition of -es to a noun ending in s). Metropoli incorrectly follows Latin inflection patterns (metropolis is a third declension noun with the nominative plural metropolēs; mētropolī is the dative or ablative singular, the error is made by incorrectly inflecting metropolis as though it were a masculine noun of the second declension).
