Usage notes

English “European” as an attributive adjective usually corresponds in Latvian to Eiropas, the genitive singular form of Eiropa, or to eiropiešu, the genitive plural form of eiropietis. The adjective eiropeisks or eiropejisks is commonly used as a predicate (“this is European”), or in its adverbial form eiropeiski or eiropejiski.
