It's the second one: I'm multilingual

"Multilingual" is an adjective, so it can be used to decribe "I", but if you add "a" in, then it begs the question "You're a multilingual what?"

Consider another example:
"I am big"

"I am a big" (A big what? What noun does "a" refer to?)


Cheers

So, it would be right to say: I am a multilingual girl?

I am carnivore. Does this sound right?

On the other hand, if i wanted to add a noun in the end, would it be right to say: I am a carnivore girl.

First of all, let me point out a slight exception to my earlier answer.

Sometimes in casual English the noun may be left out if it's obvious from the context. For instance, if we work in a shop and I say to you, "That guy is a regular." In that case regular=regular customer.

Occasionally the association of adjective-noun becomes so strong that the adjective starts to take on
