Maltese (plural Maltese or Malteses )
( chiefly in theplural , plural "Maltese" ) An inhabitant or aresident of Malta.( plural "Malteses" ) A smallbreed ofdog with a long silky coat.As with other terms for people formed with-ese , the countable singular noun in reference to a person (as in "I am a Maltese", "writing about Maltese cuisine as a Maltese") is uncommon and often taken as incorrect. In its place, the adjective is used, by itself (as in "I am Maltese") or before a noun likeperson ,man , orwoman ("writing about Maltese cuisine as a Maltese person"). See also-ish , which is similarly only used primarily as an adjective or as a plural noun.
