What's the adjective for when was born in London?
Answers:
I am a Londoner - as is everybody who was born and brought up in that city.
I also have the further distinction of being a Cockney - that is a person who was born within the sound of Bow bells. These are the church bells of St Mary le Bow, which could be heard over a wide area of the East End and also south of the River Thames.
So obviously not all Londoners are Cockneys!
The word "Londoner", however, is a noun, not an adjective.
The word "Cockney" can be a noun or an adjective - in the sentence "I have a Cockney accent" it is an adjective. So perhaps that is the adjective you are looking for.
Red. Good Luck ! :)
When? Not sure what you mean. I think you mean that you were, right? In which case they are referred to as Londoners . as in the song . Maybe it's because I'm a Londerner, that I love London so. Maybe it's because I'm a Londener, that I think of her, wherever I go. I get a funny feeling inside of me, just walking up and down. Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner, that I love London Town. :)
Does that answer your question? :D
don't think there is an adjective for being born anywhere specifically
If you live in London or have a background in London then you can probably say you are a Londoner or a Hammersmithonian etc but I don't believe there is anything to describe your place of birth other than "i was born in London"
There is no adjective in your question "when was bon in London" if that's what you are trying to say. "when" and "in London" are adverbs and "was born" is a verb.
If you were born within the sound range of Bow Bells,you would be called a Cockney.
The noun form is Londoner but this needs an article so we say "he/she is a Londoner".
I don't think there is an adjective (like Liverpudlian, Mancunian, Bristolian etc). You can't say "he/she is Londonish/Londonian etc"
With reference to the comment about "cockney" being both a noun and an adjective; yes, it can, but always needs a noun following it - you can't say "he's cockney" only "he's a cockney" (noun) or "he has a cockney accent" (adjective).
Interesting question!
