What is "островная"? Is it a Russian adjective for island?

Postby ScottChang » Aug 28th, 17, 18:23

Hi all,
From Google Translate, I got the following translation:
Haiti is a tiny island country = Гаити - крошечная островная страна.

I cannot find our what "островная" is! Is it a Russian adjective for island? What are the Russian gender and case of "островная"?

Please help, comment/answer, and respond.

Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Yes, this is the normal for the Russian language.
The country can be an island, may be the mainland
Островная страна, материковая страна/
