What would be the adjective of English Noun : double entendre ?

Question

Cheez.. Thanks a lot J.D . Actually I was looking for an adjective which is created from the same noun . Something like "double entendrical" .. i dunno if it valid or not but is there any chance for this kinda solution . ?

If Noun is "double entendre" then wht would be the adjective,if created from this noun??

Answer 1

Well, accoring to Wikipedia, it's a figure of speech and according to the online dictionaries it's a noun.

You want it to become adjective in form. That's easy, try this.

***The theater is showing double entendre acts. (In this sentence, we are actually describing the kind of acts. Acts function as a noun while double entendre acts as an adjective.)
***Do you like watching double entendre films?

Hope you got your answer.

Answer 2

I also believe phlatulent_phrog is right saying that an adjective derived from double entendre doesn't exist. Moreover, it isn't even a real french word (I mean in France nobody would understand it to mean the same thing), so it doesn't make sense to apply french grammar rules to form an adjective.

As J.D. and phlatulent_phrog say, a good English adjective with that meaning is ambiguous (which does have a noun: ambiguity).
Another adjective would be equivocal (noun: equivocation).

p.s. sorry for being such a smart-*** without actually being able to help.
I think I'm getting addicted to the feeling of importance in answering questions on here... sorry.

p.p.s. klay - wow! :)

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure an adjective formed directly from double entendre doesn't exist (for one reason, the expression is actually french, so you're probably bound by french grammar rules) although you could probably coin one of your own. But an adjective which carries the same thought is "ambiguous" (which, curiously enough, doesn't have a noun).

Answer 4

Ambiguous.

Answer 5

A double meaning. I am sorry. I don't knw exactly what you are getting at.
