iraní

Iranian

adjective noun ee-rah-NEE Rare

Usage Note

Iraní functions as both adjective and noun (el iraní, la iraní) and is invariable in gender — only the article changes. The plural is iraníes. Note the written accent on the final syllable, which is unusual for Spanish adjectives and signals the stress falls there rather than on the penultimate syllable.

Examples

"La cocina iraní es muy aromática."

Natural Translation

Iranian cuisine is very aromatic.
