Using the classifier ge
Hello everyone, I don't know why it isn't used the classifier ge in the next sentence;
- Ni shi na (ge) guo ren?
I understand that guo ren IS a noun (nacionality), so I don't get why there is no classifier used the same way as it is used in the next one:
- Ni qu nage guojia?
Being guojia also a noun (country).
Thank you all!

it's not "guo ren IS a noun" -- nope
it's
nǎ = which
guó = country
rén = person
and
the classifier is used between the number and the noun
or
the indicative pronouns "this / that" and the noun
only

In my opinon,You can say ´´ni shi na ge guo jia de ren?´´, but usually we would say ´´ni shi na guo ren?´´ which is kind of like the short form of the former sentense. ´´na guo´´ means which country
´´ge´´ is the measure word.
and for ´´ni qu na ge guo jia?´´, you can also say ´´ ni qu na guo?´´
