Talk:guerrilla

Also adjective?

Can't this also be an adjective, as in "guerrilla fighter" or "guerrilla war"? 71.66.97.228 22:10, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

These initially seem to be attributive uses of the noun. If you could find something like "[the war] is guerrilla" I'd change my mind. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:31, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

I wonder whether this user would value knowing that almost all English nouns can be used this way. It would be interesting and useful to try to get suggestions of responses to our ideas on how to put this non-obvious point across to the vast number of users who have never explicitly faced this.

/ɡEˈrɪlə/

Normally = gorilla. The /ɡE-/ pronunciation aims explicitly to avoid this homophony. JMGN (talk) 18:45, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
