Good daytime!
In some languages (f.e. russian) there are 4 genders for adjectives.
For example:
Polish territory - польская (polskaya) территория;
Polish diplomat - польский (polskiy) дипломат;
polish unit - польское (polskoye) соединение;
Polish musketeers - польские (polskiye) мушкетёры.
Is there any possibility to allow to use all of them?
(I think that this require new X_() macro and convention about number
of genders in *.nation. I'm afraid this problem couldn't be solved
by gettext now...)
PS. A long time ago i tried to wrote a proof of solution that used
gettext plurals. It was very ugly and ineffective...
PPS. I don't speak about cases, those case is really a monster.
Swedish would need three forms of adjectives: neuter, common, and plural.
Following Egor's examples:
Polish territory - polskt territorium (neuter)
Polish diplomat - polsk diplomat (common)
Polish musketeers - polska musketörer (plural)
There are some very ugly workarounds in place right now, including
loads of slashes with all the potentially required suffix letters.
Best,
