I meant to post a list of coolest nationalities in Chinese language but realized that I actually posted a list of nations. However, figuring out how to say the nationalities once you know the nations is not that difficult. You just need to add 人 (rén) at the end and a nation will become a nationality. For example:
巴西 (Bāxī): Brazil
人(rén): people
巴西人 (Bāxī rén): Brazilian
That was easy, wasn’t it? Here are few more:
牙买加人 (Yámǎijiā rén): Jamaican
美国人 (Měiguó rén): American
日本人 (Rìběn rén): Japanese
中国人 (Zhōngguó rén): Chinese
尼泊尔人 (Níbóěr rén): Nepalese
土耳其人 (Tǔěrqí rén): Turk
While it is easy to figure out how to say different nationalities, figuring out someone’s nationality is a completely different story. Yes I am talking about the Asians. Two friends of mine, a Japanese and a Korean, and I took this AllLookSame Exam #1: Faces together and we managed to score only 7 out of 18. Please post how you end up doing.
