    Note

    An Italian loanword that takes the ordinary English plural. It adds a plain -s rather than following Italian, where the plural would be baristi for men or mixed groups and bariste for women. In English prose the -s form is the natural choice for any group of coffee-shop workers. The Italian endings mark a sentence as quoting Italian rather than speaking English.
