Usage Note

Barcelonés (feminine barcelonesa) denotes both origin ('from Barcelona') and identity — a person from Barcelona is un barcelonés / una barcelonesa. The singular carries a written accent (aguda ending in -s), but the plural barceloneses drops it, becoming a llana ending in -s. Like all Spanish demonyms, it is written in lowercase, even as a noun for a person.

Examples

"El equipo barcelonés ganó el partido fácilmente."

Natural Translation

The Barcelona team won the match easily.
