Adjective section. Just attributive use of the noun? SemperBlotto (talk) 12:10, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- But needing separate treatment, given its separate meanings of Wu generally and Suzhou specifically. (Suzhou is mentioned in noun section now but is almost invariably called by its modern name in general use; the adjectival use in reference to its culture &c. remains rather strong.) — LlywelynII 12:13, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- See also Spring and Autumn, another so-called adjective. SemperBlotto (talk) 16:34, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- What so-called? In what sense is that meaning "SOP" or "understood" from the English words? — LlywelynII 19:22, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
- "SOP" or "understood" have nothing to do with whether it's an adjective. This is strictly about whether the sense exists as an adjective, not whether it exists at all. If this needs separate treatment, a noun sense with the qualifier "when used attributively" would work, though there's no doubt a more elegant way to do it.

- Delete adjective section. It's not different from Hindi, Urdu, Hebrew, etc, where the noun can be used attributively. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 23:47, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
