English Joke

A woman in the mountains of Tennessee was seated in the doorway of the cabin, busily eating some pig’s feet. A neighbor hurried up to tell of how her husband had become engaged in a saloon brawl and had been shot to death. The widow continued munching on a pig’s foot in silence while she listened to the harrowing news. As the narrator paused, she spoke thickly from her crowded mouth:

“Jest wait till I finish this-here pig’s trotter, an’ ye’ll hear some hollerin’ as is hollerin’.”

Imagine the situation: you find yourself in a new European country or meet a foreigner. You need to keep the conversation going, because they ask you where you are from, and then the question arises: How to say it correctly? — I am from Russia? or I am Russian?

The essence will be conveyed correctly in each of the cases, they both describe nationality or citizenship. But if you want to convey that you are Ukrainian, but live in Russia, then it is better to use the construction I live in Russia.

In order to understand this issue well and correctly understand your English-speaking interlocutors, in this post we propose to talk about European countries and their nationalities, as well as the official languages ​​of these countries.

Nationality in English often coincides with the name official language. We have given only the main languages ​​of the countries spoken by the majority of the population of a particular European power.

Instead of a conclusion

Suddenly your field of activity changes, and you have to travel all over Europe! And how can we get by without knowing the countries in English? This knowledge in English has never harmed anyone.

Big and friendly EnglishDom family

When communicating with foreigners, both friendly and business, there is often a need to say or write name of country or nationality in English. It is somewhat easier to understand what the interlocutor is saying, but there are pitfalls here too: not all the names of countries and their inhabitants in English are similar to how they are designated in Russian. Without a hint, you can still guess that the country “Hungary” is known to us as “Hungary”. But the fact that “Dutch” has nothing to do with Denmark, but is a resident of the Netherlands, may come as a complete surprise.

From the article you will learn:

Countries and nationalities in English: differences in concepts

When talking about nationality and what this word means to English speakers, it is important to remember that by “nationality” they do not mean ethnicity, but rather citizenship.

To the question “What is your nationality?” they will answer what country they live in, and not what nationality they consider themselves to be. What we understand by the word “nationality” largely corresponds to the English “ethnicity”. Wherein English names for nationality and ethnicity are usually the same, but there are some exceptions.

For the reason stated above, the question “What is your nationality?” almost never appears in the speech of English speakers. If they want to know a person’s country of residence, they will ask “Where are you from?”, if about what people a person considers himself to be, they will ask “What is your ethnicity/ethnic origin?”. You need to answer such questions using the constructions “I am from [country name].” and “I am [demonim]/[ethnonym]”, where a demonym is understood as the name of a resident, correlated with the place of residence (in this case, the country), and under an ethnonym - the name of a nationality.

How to write country names correctly in English

Names of countries, nationalities and nationalities, as well as languages, in English are always written with a capital letter. Words denoting nationality, nationality and language are usually adjectives derived from the name of the country (noun). There are certain patterns in exactly how they are formed, but they are too complex and there are too many exceptions for them to be used with confidence. It is much more reliable to refer to the list correct spelling and pronunciation of the names of countries and nationalities in English, and check with it if necessary. You will find a similar list below.
