How to use adjective of nationality in Chinese? for people vs objects I know that adjectives of nationality are usually made of 2 parts: the country name and the character 人。 For example Italian = 意大利人 and so on..I usually use the adjectives when i refer to people and it is correct this way, but what if i want to refer to an object instead of people? For example an Italian car..since the kind of adjective i used before contains the character "人" that means "person", can i only use it only when i refer to people or not? Please help me to clear this doubt :) .
