Countries and nationalities in Japanese<\/h2>\n

The biggest difficulty with this subject is simply having to phonetically transcribe country names into Japanese, which usually occurs from English into Japanese.<\/p>\n

The same thing happens with nationality names, only at this stage, we derive nationality from the country names in Japanese.<\/p>\n

Building nationality words<\/h2>\n

To form words indicating nationality, we will need the kanji\u00a0\u4eba<\/acronym>, which means person. when we add\u00a0\u4eba<\/acronym>\u00a0at the end of a country's name, the meaning of the word changes. Instead of the name of a country, we will have a nationality.\u00a0<\/span>Check it out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Realize that, in addition to coming after the name of a country, the kanji\u00a0\u4eba<\/acronym>\u00a0change your pronunciation to\u00a0jin<\/strong>. In a more literal translation\u00a0\u4eba<\/acronym>\u00a0indicates that the word refers to a person from that country. In case of\u00a0\u30d6\u30e9\u30b8\u30eb\u4eba<\/acronym>, the literal translation would be\u00a0person from brazil<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0brazilian person<\/strong>. So far there is nothing complicated. Right?
\n<\/p>\n

Building words indicating spoken language<\/h2>\n

To indicate the language spoken in a country, we will need kanji\u00a0\u8a9e<\/acronym>, which means language or language. The same way that\u00a0\u4eba<\/acronym>, you'll just need to add\u00a0\u8a9e<\/acronym>\u00a0at the end of each country name to indicate the language spoken in that region. Let's go to the examples?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

One important thing that we must realize right away is that the names of countries do not always match the names of the language spoken in the country. The language spoken in Brazil, for example, is Portuguese. if i use\u00a0\u30d6\u30e9\u30b8\u30eb\u8a9e<\/acronym>, it will be strange, since there is no language\u00a0brazilian<\/em>. In some cases, it is common to find the word\u00a0\u30d6\u30e9\u30b8\u30eb\u306e\u30dd\u30eb\u30c8\u30ac\u30eb\u8a9e<\/acronym>, to make a distinction between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil and the one spoken in Portugal.<\/p>\n

Because of this problem is that\u00a0\u30d6\u30e9\u30b8\u30eb<\/acronym>,\u00a0\u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab<\/acronym>\u00a0and other countries in the same situation, use the name of another country and the kanji\u00a0\u8a9e<\/acronym>\u00a0to indicate the spoken language. In the case of Brazil, we use Portugal and\u00a0\u8a9e<\/acronym>; in the case of the United States, we use England and\u00a0\u8a9e<\/acronym>. What language is spoken in Argentina? Spanish. So in Japanese, the language spoken in Argentina is\u00a0\u30b9\u30da\u30a4\u30f3\u8a9e<\/acronym>\u00a0(Spain +\u00a0\u8a9e<\/acronym>).<\/p>\n

How to speak your nationality in Japanese<\/h2>\n

To close this article about countries and nationalities in Japanese, I decided to write a little about how to ask people's nationalities. This topic will be very simple, but it can be useful in common situations.<\/p>\n

Asking about nationality<\/h3>\n

We can ask someone's nationality in two different ways: asking what country of origin, or what nationality. Let's go to the examples:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u304a\u56fd\u306f\u3069\u3053\u3067\u3059\u304b\u3002<\/acronym><\/p>\n

\u4f55\u4eba\u3067\u3059\u304b\u3002<\/acronym><\/p>\n

\u304a\u56fd\u306f\u3069\u3053\u3067\u3059\u304b<\/acronym>\u00a0is a question related to the country or place where we live. The answer to this question is always the name of a country or city. On the other hand,\u00a0\u4f55\u4eba\u3067\u3059\u304b<\/acronym>\u00a0is a question related to nationality. Therefore, the answer is always related to the country where we were born.<\/p>\n

\n\u30d6\u30e9\u30b8\u30eb\u4eba\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/acronym><\/p>\n

Asking about the language<\/h3>\n

One topic related to the subject that I couldn't fail to mention is how to ask what language someone else speaks. This part is very basic and most Japanese Language readers should already know it.<\/p>\n

\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e\u3092\u8a71\u305b\u307e\u3059\u304b\u3002<\/acronym><\/p>\n

\u306f\u3044\u3001\u8a71\u305b\u307e\u3059\u3002<\/acronym><\/p>\n

\u3044\u3044\u3048\u3001\u8a71\u305b\u307e\u305b\u3093\u3002<\/acronym><\/p>\n
