Nationalities, Languages. Grammar Notes. 1) When you are talking about people in general from a particular country, there are some nationalities that you can make plural by adding ‘s’ to the nationality adjective. In this case you may or may not use the definite article ‘the’. (the) Russians Brazilians Italians 2) When the nationality adjective ends in ‘-ch’, ‘-sh’, ‘-ese’, ‘-ss’ you use the definite article ‘the’ and the nationality adjective to refer to the population as a whole. French British the Irish Welsh Swiss Dutch Portuguese Chinese Japanese Vietnamese Nepalese Congolese Maltese, etc. 3) In other cases you can use the definite article ‘the’ and the plural form of the noun used to refer to a person belonging to that group. Adjective Person Population Danish a Dane the Danes Finnish a Finn the Finns Polish a Pole the Poles Scottish a Scot the Scots Swedish a Swede the Swedes Turkish a Turk the Turks Notes: 1) With all these three groups you can use the words ‘people’, ‘men’, ‘women’ ‘girl’, ‘person’: (British people, German women, Japanese men). 2) When you talk about one person from these countries, you need to add ‘woman/man/person’ to the following adjectives: French, British, English, Irish, Welsh, Dutch: an Italian, but a British person, a French woman). You can also say: a Frenchman-a Frenchwoman, a Dutchman-a Dutchwoman, an Englishman-Englishwoman, an Irishman-an Irishwoman, a Welshman-a Welshwoman, A Scotsman- a Scotswoman. 3) The Scots prefer the adjectives Scottish.
