==Nationalities in French==
Unlike English, when it comes to nationalities, in French, there is a difference whether you're a girl or a boy.


example in  French : Elle est irlandaise/ Il est irlandais  
*Example in English: "She is Irish / He is Irish"
*Example in  French: "Elle est irlandaise / Il est irlandais"


It is important to make the difference. I've heard people making this mistake (which is totally normal) but we really need to make the difference between a "he" or a "she". You could find yourself in a very embarrassing situation.

Nationalities in French[edit | edit source]

Unlike English, when it comes to nationalities, in French, there is a difference whether you're a girl or a boy.

  • Example in English: "She is Irish / He is Irish"
  • Example in French: "Elle est irlandaise / Il est irlandais"

It is important to make the difference. I've heard people making this mistake (which is totally normal) but we really need to make the difference between a "he" or a "she". You could find yourself in a very embarrassing situation.

So, to help you I'm going to make a list of different nationalities so that you won't ever do this mistake again.

Let's go :

  • She/he is American  : Elle est américaine/ Il est américain
  • English: Elle est anglaise / Il est anglais
  • German: Elle est allemande / il est allemand
  • Chinese: Elle est chinoise / il est chinois
  • Japonese: Elle est japonaise / Il est Japonais
  • Spanish: Elle est espagnole / Il est espagnol
  • Mexican: Elle est mexicaine / Il est mexicain
  • Indian: Elle est indienne / Il est indien


As you can see most of the time you can just add an "e" if you're a girl.


Then, here are some countries / people / language :

  • Germany = Allemagne / Allemand(e) / Allemand
  • Austrian = Autriche / Autrichien(ne) / Autrichien
  • Belgium = Belgique / Belge / Belge
  • Bulgaria = Bulgarie / Bulgare / Bulgare
  • Cyprus = Chypre / Chypriote / Grec
  • Croatia = Croatie / Croate / Croate
  • Denmark = Danemark / Danois(e) / Danois
  • Spain = Espagne / Espagnole / Espagnol
  • Estonia = Estonie / Estonien(ne) / Estonien
  • Finland = Finlande / Finlandais(e) / Finnois
  • France = France / Français(e) / Français
  • Greece = Grèce / Grec / Grec
  • Hungary = Hongrie / Hongrois(e) / Hongrois
  • Ireland = Irlande / Irlandais(e) / Irlandais
  • Italia = Italie / Italien(ne) / Italien
  • Latvia = Lettonie / Letton(ne) / Letton
  • Lithuania = Lituanie / Lituanien(ne) / Lituanien
  • Luxembourg = Luxembourg / Luxembourgeois(e) / Luxembourgeois
  • Malta = Malte / Maltais(e) / Maltais
  • Netherlands = Pays-bas / Néerlandais(e) / Néerlandais
  • Poland = Pologne / Polonais(e) / Polonais
  • Portugal = Portugal / Portugais(e) / Portugais
  • Czech republic = République Tchèque / Tchèque / Tchèque
  • Romania = Roumanie / Roumain(e) / Roumain
  • United kingdoms = England = Royaume-Unis : Angleterre / Anglais(e) / Anglais
    • Scotland = Ecosse / Écossais(e) / Écossais
    • Wales = Pays de Galle / Gallois(e) / Gallois
  • Slovakia = Slovaquie / Slovaque / Slovaque
  • Slovenia = Slovénie / Slovène / Slovène
  • Sweden = Suède / Suédois(e) / Suédois
