  1. 1a/ˈspænɪʃ/from Spain西班牙的

    Connected with Spain — coming from Spain, belonging to its people or their way of life, or belonging to the language that is spoken there.

    Spanish 是從國名 Spain 變出來的形容詞，說的是「跟西班牙有關」。它可以指來自西班牙的東西，像 Spanish olive oil。可以指西班牙的人和生活，像 a Spanish festival。也可以指語言那一面，像 Spanish grammar。它幾乎都放在名詞前面，開頭一定大寫。來源標示它沒有比較級，所以不會用 more Spanish 來比國籍。要注意它不是名詞：說「西班牙菜」用 Spanish food，不說 Spain food。

    文法不可數名詞：通常不加 a/an，也不加 -s 來表示複數。

    Spanish 當語言時是不可數名詞，前面不加 a，也不加 s。它不只是西班牙在講：拉丁美洲很多國家的日常語言也是 Spanish。學它說 learn Spanish 或 study Spanish。用它說話說 speak Spanish，或 in Spanish。語言名稱在英文裡開頭一律大寫。西班牙國內還有別的語言，像加泰隆尼亞語，那些不算 Spanish。
