Nota Bene:
* Questi termini indicano gruppi etnici/indigeni del paese.
** Non si possono usare gli aggettivi che terminano in -ese/-sh/-ch/-ss al singolare, per questo motivo dobbiamo ricorrere all'aggettivo più person/man/woman.
- Esempio:
- There is a Vietnamese woman in my English class. (Al corso di inglese c'è una donna vietnamita)
Ad ogni modo possiamo usare questi aggettivi al plurale o come nomi collettivi facendo uso dell'articolo determinativo per parlare in generale degli abitanti di una nazione.
- Esempio:
- Food and family are very important to the Vietnamese. (Il cibo e la famiglia hanno grande importanza per i vietnamiti)
