holandés

/olanˈdes/ · B2 · adj

Dutch

🌷🧀 holandés = Holanda (Holland) + -és, the suffix for nationality: Dutch

Spanish builds the word from Holanda plus -és, like francés, inglés, japonés. It sounds like 'oh-lan-DESS': think 'Holland-ess' with a stress on the end. Note that it covers both Holland and the Netherlands generally.
