Pronunciation edit
Adjective edit
ivorisch (strong nominative masculine singular ivorischer, not comparable)
- (relational) of the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire); Ivorian
Usage notes edit
- Due to the discrepancy between the country name Elfenbeinküste and the adjective, the latter is not quite familiar even to many German-speakers with an average knowledge of geography. It may therefore be recommendable to gloss it (von der Elfenbeinküste) before using it.
