12 Adjectives - Nationalities

Theory:

The names of countries are used to form nationality adjectives, and certain rules apply.

If a country name ends in IA, the nationality ends in IAN.

- INDIA becomes INDIAN

- BOLIVIA becomes BOLIVIAN


Many nationalities are formed by adding ESE.

- CHINA becomes CHINESE

- JAPAN becomes JAPANESE


Another group of countries, whose names end in AND, have nationalities that end in ISH.

Sometimes the last consonant is doubled before you add the ISH.

- ENGLAND becomes ENGLISH

- FINLAND becomes FINNISH


There are also some countries whose nationalities do not follow any rules.

- FRANCE becomes FRENCH

- GERMANY becomes GERMAN


The rules are so mixed that the nationalitiy for each country should be learnt individually.
