Usage notes
- Use lowercase genovese in normal Italian; capitalize only at the start of a sentence or in official names.
- It agrees like a regular adjective: uomo genovese, donna genovese, uomini genovesi, donne genovesi.
- As a noun, un genovese / una genovese means a person from Genoa; English speakers often miss this shift.
