nl-noun-adj m or f (plural nl-noun-adjen)


This template is a simplified version of {{nl-noun}} that can be used for substantivized adjectives. Substantivized adjectives are nouns that are derived from adjectives or participles by adding -e as in the inflected form, such as jongere or gevangene. In the case of participles that end in -en, this form differs from the inflected form (which has no -e in those words).

Nouns of this kind have no inherent gender, and are masculine/feminine when referring to a person, and neuter when referring to a thing. When used for a person, these nouns have a plural in -n, but neuter nouns are generally abstract or collective in meaning and have no plural.

The following parameters are supported, which work identically to those on {{nl-noun}}:

  • head= override the headword
  • 1= gender (m, f or c are all taken to mean m/f; this is default so it does not need to be specified, only neuter does)
  • 2= plural (defaults to -n; omitted if the noun is neuter unless specified)
  • pl2= optional second plural

This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.
