Language/French/Vocabulary/Nationalities

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

japonais japonaise/ Japonais

spanish espagnole/ espagnol

Mexican mexicaine/ mexicain

indian indienne/ indien

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