Usage Note

Pakistaní functions as both a noun (el pakistaní, la pakistaní) and an adjective (la comunidad pakistaní). The seed lists gender as f, but as a common-gender -í noun it is used with either article. Its plural is pakistaníes (also pakistanis in informal use). The accent on the final í shows the stress falls there, overriding the default penultimate rule.

Examples

"Conocí a un joven pakistaní que hablaba cinco idiomas."

Natural Translation

I met a young Pakistani who spoke five languages.
