[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you say "Jewish" instead of "Jews"? I feel that calling oneself "Jewish" does not show full commitment to that identity. It's like you are on the fence. [/quote] what quote are you referring to? Jewish is an adjective. English grammar has different words for adjectives and nouns. [/quote] For example people say - "I am Christian." or "I am Muslim." They do not say I am "Muslimish" or I am "Christianish". So why say I am "Jewish"? Why not just say "I am a Jew" ? [/quote] Christian is an adjective. Jew is not. That is simply English grammar. "I am a Jew just sounds a bit different, more formal than saying "I am Jewish". Both are correct usages however, and both are said. [/quote]
