The adjective belga - meaning Belgian - can be confusing, because it functions differently from other words used to describe nationality, such as:

  • italiano, italiana / italiani, italiane (Italian)

  • americano, americana / americani, americane (American)

  • russo, russa / russi, russe (Russian)

  • spagnolo, spagnola / spagnoli, spagnole (Spanish)

  • brasiliano, brasiliana / brasiliani, brasiliane (Brazilian)

The adjective belga is both the masculine and feminine form. This adjective also has an irregular masculine plural:

  • belgi 
    (not belghi)

The forms of belga are:

  • belga (m. and f.singular)

  • belgi (m. plural)

  • belghe (f. plural)
