长了自己都可能觉出来好像有什么地方有问题。我见过有些人根本就不说我是什么什么
-ese, 而是说我来自于哪个哪个国家,本能地抵触这个 -ese.
中国人其实应该把这个名称改掉,转叫 Chinon, Chinan 或者就叫 Chinaren 或者拼音
Zhongguoren。
-ese
a suffix forming adjectival derivatives of place names, especially countries
or cities; frequently used nominally to denote the inhabitants of the place
or their language: Faroese; Japanese; Vietnamese; Viennese .
By analogy with such language names, -ese occurs in coinages(造词)
denoting in a disparaging(贬低,诋毁), often facetious way a
characteristic jargon, style, or accent: Brooklynese; bureaucratese;
journalese; computerese .
