Nationalities

Hello everyone,
The blog is back with an entry on nationalities.  Nationalities in Greek can be tricky since, although the male is fairly simple and can be constructed by the suffix ος, the female varies and could take any of these suffixes ίδα, έζα, άλα, η/α.  Also, remember that nationalities for people are different to nationalities for objects which work like common adjectives and usually finish in ικός/η/ο, depending on the gender of the object.  I hope you find the entry useful.   The words appear in the following order:
