would it make sense to say soy irlandesa?

Question

I am trying to say that 'I am Irish' (fem.) so would I say 'Soy irlanesa' or 'Soy una irlandesa'?

but doesn't irlandesa mean Irish woman? so would it not be soy UNA irlandesa? - V-ster, SEP 7, 2009

Answer 1

You'd say "Soy irlandés" (I am Irish).

is this masculine or fem? - V-ster, SEP 7, 2009

"Irlandesa" is also correct for a woman. - --Mariana--, SEP 7, 2009

so would it be "soy una irlandesa" or just Soy irlandesa? - V-ster, SEP 7, 2009

"Irlandés" is masculine or feminine noun. It can mean "irishwoman" or "irishman." - --Mariana--, SEP 7, 2009

Get rid of the "una." It's just "soy." - --Mariana--, SEP 7, 2009

thank you :) - V-ster, SEP 7, 2009

Answer 2

I am Irish (adjective) = Soy irlandesa'

I am a Irish woman (noun) = Soy irlandés. (invariant according to our dictionary)
