Perzische

Perzische is the inflected Dutch adjective meaning "Persian" or "of Persia." It is used to describe feminine or plural nouns, for example de Perzische taal (the Persian language), de Perzische cultuur or de Perzische kat. The base form Perzisch is used with masculine or neutral nouns in many contexts, such as een Perzisch woord. In Dutch spelling, Perzische appears when the noun is feminine or plural or when the definite article is used; the rule resembles other adjectives that take -e in definite form.

The term refers to things connected with the historical region of Persia, centered on present-day Iran, including language, literature, art, cuisine, and ethnography. In this sense, Perzische can describe language (Perzisch taal), literary tradition, or cultural artifacts associated with Persia.

Related terms include Persia or Iran as modern references; the English equivalent is Persian. The adjective also appears in compound expressions, like Perzische tapijten (Persian carpets) or Perzische katten (Persian cats).
