Grammar
Adjective or not?
Hello all,
I came across this problem last week and I was wondering what you think.
If once says: "A Swedish course", would Swedish in this case be considered an adjective?
At first glace I thought it was, but then I replaced "Swedish" by "physics". One would say a "A physics course" and not "A physical course".
If Swedish in the above sentence isn't an adjective, what is it then? A noun?
If it is an adjective, could you please explain why (comparing it with the physics/physical example)?
Thank you very much!

If Swedish means the language spoken in Sweden, it is of course a noun: Do you speak Swedish? CB
