libanés

Lebanese

adjective lee-bah-NEHS Rare

Usage Note

Libanés refers to anything or anyone from Lebanon (Líbano). As a noun it means 'a Lebanese person'; the feminine is libanesa. Lebanon has a notable diaspora in Latin America — particularly in Chile, Mexico, and Brazil — so the term appears in both geopolitical contexts and discussions of immigrant heritage. The written accent on the final -és marks it as stressed on the last syllable.

Examples

"Un restaurante libanés abrió en el barrio."

Natural Translation

A Lebanese restaurant opened in the neighbourhood.
