How nationalities change
In Spanish, nationalities and languages take a small letter: inglés, not Inglés. The language is usually the masculine form: el inglés, el francés, el alemán.
Ending in -o: change -o to -a for a woman.
italiano → italiana (Italian) · mexicano → mexicana (Mexican)
Ending in a consonant: add -a for a woman. An accent on the last syllable goes.
inglés → inglesa (English) · alemán → alemana (German)
Ending in -e, -a or -í: the same for a man and a woman.
estadounidense (American) · belga (Belgian) · marroquí (Moroccan)
Plurals add -s after a vowel and -es after a consonant.
italianos, italianas (Italians) · ingleses, inglesas (English people)
